Teri, all,
the last time I was there, though it has been a few months, we were not allowed to enter the lobby. The closest we could get, after banging on the door when we could see that workers were inside, was the vestibule and we had to wait there until a Ranger came to answer our specific question. They aren't open on Saturdays, so you would have to go during "business hours" M-F.
I've noticed wherever I've been (CO, UT, ID, AZ, NM,OR) during the Covid pandemic, USFS ranger stations are ALL closed to the Public. This all during the time that their supreme leaders (Sonny Perdue, trump) were denying that Covid was a real concern. I'm not criticizing the local workforce, they're just following directives to be closed. And I don't think they are closed due to the concern for the public, I think they're closed because it was a convenient excuse to deny the public access to the resources behind the doors. It could have been managed much differently, and fairly. And still could.
Not a happy camper.

We skied west on an unmarked route parallel to the groomed trail to the next switchback in the Crest Highway. This route, known as Sam’s/Kerry’s Trail, continues up parallel to the highway to the first highway switchback below Ellis Trailhead. We then skied the groomed (rolled by the Sandia Nordic Ski Club) trail across the meadow (old road clearing) to an aspen grove that stops at a forest-covered cliff. We had lunch here and returned by the same route to the parking lot.
