Has anyone been up Chaffee CR 322 to Mt Princeton lately? Wondering where the snow line is and if you can make it past the towers. Thanks!

I was up there 2 weeks ago, so take this with a grain of salt. I saw 1 car make it to the radio towers. IIRC it was a Range Rover Defender. The road was mostly dry until the radio towers, with patches starting maybe a quarter mile below. Continuous snow starting right after radio towers. Again, this was 2 weeks ago.

I was up there today. It’s possible to get past the radio towers a bit to where there are three parking spots on the right. There are a few patches of snow that were easy to get through with a stock SUV. We skied all the way down the road almost to the car with just a few very short dry patches.

Nice!

Any chance you will post a TH conditions update? :)
