Conditions definitely improved from the last storm cycle (compared to reports on the 15th!). Cut blocks now passable with a bit of navigation. Great turns in the open areas with near champagne snow (still need to be mindful of the occasional shallow rock) Access (and exit) via the lower road recommended as Alder still very thick on the upper road (see pic!)
