Although unable to ski today, I was able to drive the Crest Road at dusk to scout that situation out. Conditions can change quickly, but here's the situation at dusk on Saturday the 5th:
The road is indeed plowed and sanded. It was visible asphalt for most of the drive - sometimes wet, sometimes dry. Temps above freezing.
Treespring, Sandia Ski Resort and Capulin Snowplay Area were plowed (the gate to Capulin was open). Even at dusk that area was evident to have been a circus; still a few cars parked in the traffic lane making it a single lane road there.
Closer to the Crest, where the road gets into some sharper turns, it was also reduced to a single lane at several of those sharp turns - simply due to the narrowness of the plow job.
10K parking was not plowed and inaccessible. Looked like maybe a few cars had parked right on the highway. No real room for shoulder parking there.
Ellis parking was also not plowed and inaccessible. It looked like someone had taken their monster truck in, but no tracks indicating true parking traffic. A few cars were parked on the highway just outside Ellis even at the late hour I was by.
At the Crest, the upper parking lot was not plowed. Some have driven up there anyway, but it looks like a AAA Roadside Assitance bait patch; deep, slushy snow with a steep ascent. I did not go up. The lower Crest lot was plowed two car widths wide. This means a few lucky arrivals can parallel park there (maybe ten?) and then back up to get out - that plowed patch on the lower lot narrows down to one car width near the far end with no turn-around.
