Info: I was at the TH today. I can confirm that it is open and snow-free (at the trailhead, anyway... posthole hell starts within 100 feet...)

Info: Road clear up to the winter trailhead at Guanella Pass campground. It had snowed over a foot, so snowshoes highly recommended (I know there was more snow coming this week, too). Snow packed, but not icy.

Info: The road is in good condition, made to the TH in Accord with summer tires with no issues. Arrived at around 7:30, saw 3 other cars in the lot. Coming back at around 1:15pm, the lot was full and cars were parking along the road.

Info: Road was almost totally dry up to the winter closure then hard packed snow to just before Guanella pass where the road and both lots were totally dry. Note there has been some avy activity at the first switchback up from the winter closure. Good time to start using that bypass option to cut past that known slide zone.

Info: No snow on the road whatsoever, but it is closed at the Duck Creek CG (*not* Duck Lake) 4 miles from the TH, coming from 285/Grant. As a hiker attempting Bierstadt, your best bet is to take the pass south from Georgetown instead. From the closure on that end it's only a 3 mile addition to the round trip, instead of 8.
