I Parked at winter closure. There are Snow machine tracks that have the road packed down to before the south face where the snow on the road stops. Two vehicles had made it one to two miles in but then one got stuck or something and they had to get help to turn around from the snowmobile guides. The snow resumes on the road towards the end of south face and snow shoes were necessary from there to the beginning of the ascent towards the ridge. You can go from rock pile to rock pile as the snow isn't continuous and thins out towards the top. The east face does have large snow fields. I did the ridge over to Gemini and it was passable to the north with less snow. Beautiful day with low wind. Thanks to the person who placed the cool summit log. Photos (click for slideshow):
