Indian Peaks/Brainard Lake - Road Conditions

Post by iwelch »

I'm planning to take a crack at skiing Toll over Memorial day. I'm trying to figure out if we should plan to bike or hike the road. In years past the road has been semi-clear with snowdrifts around this time of year but based on our late snowfall this season I'm not sure that trend will hold. I did call the Boulder ranger Station and they said the road should be clear but the tone of their voice didn't instill any confidence in me. Has anyone been up there recently that can tell me the conditions of the Road leading from the winter gate to Brainard Lake?

Cheers,
Ian
