Mt Adams beta? was created by nickwiarda
Anyone have beta from Mt Adams? I saw the TR from 3/27, am wondering if there is anything new with updated conditions. Thanks all.

Creamy goodness on leeward slopes below 7500 yesterday. Skied from cold springs, no carries. Snowmos all over the place. Watched a group ski down from lunch counter while we were sitting on South Butte, did not look fun. Road is getting rutted/sloppy mud in a few spots.

Posting here to endorse this as the canonical "Adams conditions?/Is the road to the TH passable?" thread for 2015 rather than having 17 random ones as always seems to be the case.

I drove up to, and parked at the cold springs trailhead Saturday April 11 (white out) and Sunday April 12 (rig:4x frontier). Parking was very limited in the campground on Sunday due to snow. The road was entirely melted out by the afternoon on April 12 once out of the trees at cold springs. There were probably ~7-10 big rigs up there with trailers along with a few suvs. The road is getting a bit rutted out in the muddy sections. In a low clearance rig I probably would not go much past the last hairpin. There is a section right before the trees that you might get high-centered. Snow line was ~3-4k last night.

Not to hijack the road conditions thread, but are people snomobiling up directly above Cold Springs?  That hits the wilderness boundary pretty quickly.  The Mt Adams District USFS office in Trout Lake might be interested in that.
