Dyer is in nice condition. I stuck to mostly snow from the Summer TH to the summit. You could probably stick to rock/dirt for 30% of the route if you wanted. Decent freeze overnight created nice supportive snow until the summit. Left winter closure at 530 and summited at 8. Headed down about 9 and snow was great for plunge stepping, but still a bit too hard/icy for any decent glissade. Brought but didn't use traction. Only used snowshoes on a portion of the road on the way down which was quickly turning into a mess in the mid morning heat.
