They never gate it, but it will have about a foot of snow or some ice to make it trickier

Talked to the ranger today and she said there's 6-8" on the ground and more snow forecasted for early next week.

I was there this past weekend while it started to dump snow. There was about a foot on the road already. I did see a few jeeps pass by, but they were going very slow and having a hard time. I think the time might be passed to get up to the TH.
