Info: Bathroom is open. Rut is forming shortly after the snow plow turnaround that could turn into a problem for low clearance 2WD.

Info: Road still open and pretty easy. Parked right at the trailhead. 95% dry, and where there's ice, it isn't too bad. Very few places where you have to go over bumps as of now, you can usually go around them. I got up easily with my 4wd Ford Escape, but I think it was overqualified. That being said, I think snow is forecast for the first, so it might get worse.

Info: You could unicycle to the trailhead with how dry it is right now.

If anyone goes and finds a pair of thick Outdoor Research liner gloves those are mine, I'll pay for you to mail them to me! Best liner gloves I ever had.

Info: Road to Winfield is still accessible. Covered with snow from about the half way point, but it's a couple of inches and packed down. Easily accessible by anyone with 4wd, or 2wd with half decent tires.

Info: I drove this road to Winfield on 12-21, and not a whole lot has changed - the storm this past weekend left ~1/2" of snow over most all of the road (except where the sun has melted out a few short stretches). All this really means versus prior reports is that there's just enough snow to hide any ice floes, and not enough to fill in all the washboarding. Getting to Missouri Gulch wasn't a big deal - while only AWD/4WD vehicles were at the TH today, a 2WD with good tires should be fine too.

Info: Road is in fantastic shape, some minor washboarding but that’s it. Many ski area parking lots are worse than this road (A-Basin I’m looking at you…)

Toilet is a pleasant potty: clean, doesn’t smell, lots of hand sanitizer & toilet paper.

Info: The road is pretty well packed down to the trailhead. I made it with no issues in a Subaru. The snow is deep in the trailhead parking lot so stick to where others have already driven.

Info: Road is snow covered, but lots of vehicle tracks. Some small sections of ice, but 4WD/AWD should be fine. I'm in an old tacoma. Trailhead parking lot is a little trickier, but still only about 8" of snow and very doable.
