Re: Mt. Guyot Conditions
I assume you started at the Breck side of Georgia Pass, but if you started from the Jefferson side, how far up can you drive and was the road skiable?

Bring cheatmobiles. 
The Breckenridge approach to Georgia Pass is much longer than the NW ridge route and it's still buried in snow. We blasted out 4 miles of the approach, parked at 10,800', skinned up to the pass and booted the east ridge.

Re: Mt. Guyot Conditions
Great pics!
From a skiers perspective: softish, but not spring like between 13,150 to 12,000. Below 12,000 we found some really nice corn! We were able to "ski" from summitish to within 100 feet of the car.
