Solo day on Antero. Didn't see anyone else all day. Route from the 2WD trailhead is in good shape. There are still a few ice flows on the trail, but they're avoidable on the uphill side of the road/trail. A track was available to just above the turnoff at 10.8K. Right around 11K the trench/tracks ended, so I re-broke trail and set the new trench up to tree line (some of the trench around tree line and in open areas was likely filled in by the wind). Turned around at 13k-ish as the wind was just too much. Had to lie down several times.
AVY Alert: one of the questionable slopes just prior to the 10.8K had already slid (see photo). One the way back down, the slope next to it had quite a few rollerballs showing. Keep an eye out, as the road slog can lull you to sleep.
