Road is clear to about 1/4 of a mile above the radio towers. Plenty of snow above timberline, spikes are a must and skis would save you a lot of heartache after noon. Wanted crampons on a few spots, but it's manageable. Snowshoes are pretty useless on the summer trail since the snow is so steep. Might be safer and easier to go straight over tiger peak rather than following the summer route. Evidence of small wet loose slides, and a hard slab underneath a thin layer of wind blown snow in the gullies, so be careful if you take the standard route. Tomorrow, the snow will be horrendous to walk on, but doable with skis.
