There is actually space for one vehicle to park across the street (on the left) from the TH. 6 to 12 inches of freshies from last night; continuous from the road all the way through the choke point. Snowshoes weren't necessary. Crampons also not needed until right before you reach the upper bowl (somewhere around 12K). Two in our group were able to make some turns on the descent. An attempt at glissading resulted in good sized pinwheels so be careful.
