Just got back from trip 3/10. I was pleasantly surprised to find adequate coverage with decent snow quality. I'd say it was a notch above typical Spring snow with lots of untracked stuff inviting geeky snowplow turns through the trees and a few wipeouts. The trail was completely covered from the gate on up to the top. Thanks to Joel for the encouraging report from 3/8.
