As of 2:30, temp 40F with little to no wind. Sunny sky gave way to high, thin overcast. 10K and Ellis trailheads still not plowed, hence, parking at Crest parking lot was tight. 

More vehicles stuck trying to drive into Ellis (4 wd truck—-  same place, different fool). Lots of vehicles parked illegally on the road at Ellis. 

Snow between the Crest and the service road is still very good, but packed out by snowshoers and postholers, making some downhill stretches difficult. 

The good news:  there were relatively few people in the trails, despite today being a holiday. You’d better hit it pretty soon, though, as it’ll start getting icy soon, I rather imagine.
