Info: Some ice and snow on the road but still good for most cars. Hard packed snow on 75% of the trail, brought snowshoes but not needed. Brought poles which were a huge help.

Info: Wet, but clearable to the gate at the end. There were a couple of small snow drifts in the road. Adventurous people in cars can probably make it. The road will likely be snow-free by mid-week in the first week of June 2010.

Info: The trailhead is in fact closed for the winter. Parking at the Quandary Peak TH adds approximately 4 miles round trip (I think), but the road is well packed down, which would allow for easy hiking or snowmobiling to the TH.
