Road is snow free for about a mile from the TH. After that mix of dry and snow for a bit until its almost totally snow covered until past the lake. Snow was supportive both up and down despite the warm temps. The clear night helped. You can choose to stick to snow basically the whole way up Clinton. There are some rocks climbers right that could also be used. Traverse to McNamee/Traver was dry. We took a rib off Traver basically back to the road below the lake to avoid some potential nightmare snow. Was mostly dry with a few nice sections of glissades and plunge stepping.
