Went up the Crags trail today making it pretty close to treeline. I broke trail the entire way from about 1 mile before Crags Campground (4WD trucks/jeeps may make it to within 1/4 to 1/2 mile). Snow is DEEP the higher you get, was pushing through knee deep (waist in some spots) snow towards the top of the trees. Made for some fun powder turns on the board, but be ready for a slog on the ascent.

If you are following my tracks, they do go off trail a bit towards the end as I was just looking for a good spot to ski from. Try and stay near the trail and the snow won't be quite as deep.
