Info: Plowed to the inner gate about a mile from the summer trailhead. The mine has put up "no parking" signs here where the plowing ends so you have to park down the road below the private property sign, but it doesn't add more than a half-mile. In total, you can get to about a mile and a half of the summer trailhead.

Info: And the road is still clear to the gate, although FWD cars might have a little trouble on the last 100 yards to the gate.

Info: Doesn't get any easier than this in winter - road was almost dry (at least in the middle) all the way to the gate 1.1miles from the summer trailhead, as opposed to the normal winter closure about 3mi from the trailhead. If you want to snowflake Decalibron - GO NOW! (before the next snowstorm rolls in)

Info: Road is in great shape up to the gate closure. From there, only 1.1 miles to the TH on mostly frozen dirt with some lightly drifted snow.

Info: Road to TH is closed at the gate. Somewhat odd since the road past the TH is mostly dry but they decided to close the gate for some reason.

Info: Small drift of snow just before kite late, but gate open. I would not say any SUV with FWD/AWD would have an issue making it.

Info: The gate that is about a mile below Kite Lake was open. The road from there to the lake had hardly any snow on it. No problem getting up there for my AWD Highlander and several other vehicles. One of the two bathroom stalls at Kite Lake is unlocked but not being maintained. A couple inches of snow packed on the floor and no tp available.

Info: Summited Buckskin this morning - Road is surprisingly open all the way to the TH ! Was expecting to start my hike at the gate, but thankfully it was open. A few snow drifts along the way, but they are avoidable for the most part.

Info: Clear to the top, no snow in the road, gate was open. There's a sign closer to the start of the road that states the road will be closed 11/1. Saw at least a dozen vehicles parked at the th today.
