Road is essentially clear and dry to the 2WD trailhead. After that there are clear stretches intermittent with stretches of packed snow/ice, the latter generally increasing with elevation. Made it to within about 0.3-0.4 mile of 4WD TH in a stock Nissan Xterra S. At that point the road steepens a bit and is snow packed and icy. Gave it a couple of tries without success and decided we were close enough (getting dark and cold, time to set up camp, etc.). From there the road was mostly clear and it looked like pretty easy going to the TH, so a better vehicle (and/or driver!) would likely have no problems under these conditions. Not another soul up there on 11/17/19.
