Info: Easy 4x4 to parking area, low gearing recommended. Would not take anything with crossover clearance personally.

Info: Bone dry all the way to the towers. All gates open. A couple of rough places along the 4WD section but nothing an AWD couldn't handle.

Info: Road to the winter parking area is paved/plowed but note that it's a long route up steep and winding roads so might want to give the snowplows a little time to do their work if there's just been a big snow. 4WD road is gated for the winter but totally packed down by lots of ski traffic. Very popular area and only room for a maybe 15 or so vehicles.

Info: Driveable to about 11,700'. Drove up no problems in my stock 4Runner, definitely Subaru-able. Will probably be clear to the radio towers in a week or two.

Info: Clear of snow to the end of the 4WD road. My Elantra bottomed out on two rocks on the 0.7 miles from the main 2WD trailhead to the second 2WD trailhead, but made it to the upper 2WD trailhead OK otherwise with some maneuvering.

Info: Was able to make it to the parking area past the winter trailhead (.7 miles past it). A couple of large ruts but i did it in an rx300 so anything with decent clearance should be fine. Saw a stock tacoma that drove to the towers at the start of the north ridge
