Interested in climbing after snowboarding next weekend - any locals know if the road is passable/clear?
thanks

Was there yesterday. Road completely clear. The rough stretch of 4 WD was nastier than I ever remembered it.
I wish the fairies and unicorns that recently buffed out the mid-gorge parking access (hat tip fellas!) would sprinkle a little love here too.

Is 4x4 needed now? I've been fine with FWD and clearance, but its been a couple years since I was out there. (first time, made it in a car, only scraping once)
My first time there was in ..November last year, and I thought it was pretty rowdy with a locked 4wd truck with 31s. I don't go wheeling, so it got my pulse up a little.
My friend in an Audi wagon didn't even try it.
Ended up giving people a shuttle run.
Not sure what the book is talking about saying "high clearance" alone is enough.
The mid-gorge parking was NAAASTY! I was there the weekend that it damn near benighted 5 sedans. Glad that got some attention.
