Road open to Missouri lakes trail head. Slushy creek/trail first 0.5 miles then nothing but snow (and a ton of it) the rest of the way. Had our eyes on the couloir but the 2 days of rain prior to our climb and the active rain at start of our day with no decent freeze made us bail for the Northeast ridge. Had a great snow climb regardless though. Moderate entire leg deep post holing on the way out. Great day though!
