I always cringe of going there because of the road. Anyone been up there lately? Is the road to parking lot cleared of snow and ice?

Can you start skinning from the parking lot?

Here's what I did in my Hyandi Pony last March.

 

1. Drive up road until you can't go any further.

 

2. Park.

 

3. Start skinning (or walking).

 

4. Stick thumb out to any passing vehicles in hope of a ride.

 

Seriously though, I've ben up there a few times in various cars that don't/won't make it past the turnoff to the parking lot. Usually you can just hitch a ride, if not, well its a long walk, but you're in it for the exercise yeah?

Yes, I was there the end of March and drove right to the trailhhead snowfree. The snow starts at the trailhead parking lot and I skinned up right from truck.

Road is as bare as bare gets. Lots of snow at TH
