Arrived at lot #1 around 1:00pm.  Looked like there was a wedding being held in the lodge.  Was able to skin ten feet from patio.  Snow on Debbie's a bit rutted from snowcats moving electrical equipment in place to power the new mid-mountain building.  Rain and wind came and went while climbing, but thankfully slacked off on top, sun tried to peek through a little.  Upper Nash entrance still clean.  Soft bumps skied well.  Adrenaline was soft and smooth. Lower Nash was somewhat cuppy.
Thanks for the update

Also note -- I investigated the Cold Creek road (9070) and found it blocked by a snow drift just past the MIll Creek bridge at 2400ft.  I think 4wd pickup truck with 30 inch tires could probably power through, but I didn't even try with my dinky little Honda CRV.

You won't make it much past that
