KBHR Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 I was up there on Friday, 5/1/09. The road was clear just about to the lower trailhead - maybe a quarter mile or so of roadwalk. I would actually suggest walking past the lower trailhead and taking the trail that starts at the logging cut about a quarter mile or so past the lower trailhead. That trail will shorcut you up to the parking lot for the upper trailhead and is mostly ridgewalk through the logged trees with pretty good views. The snow is going fast and the trail is bare/spotty up to about a half mile from the beginning of the chute. The snow in the chute was about 3-4 inches of corn on top of a really hard crust. If you punched through that crust there was a really thick softer layer. Beautiful day Friday. Made it up with my skis and dogs but I didn't ski the whole thing because I'm not burly enough to do the tight steep sections when its all rutted up.
