Road should be passable to the 2WD/winter trailhead (got some snow but not too bad - not sure I'd drive up colony with the snow though). Snowshoes might be marginally helpful around treeline, but if it's anything like the music pass peaks just south of it, even following the storm there's still not enough snow to really warrant snowshoes (even if they might be useful for a short bit), though I did find traction useful on Saturday heading up some stuff around music pass.
