The road is blocked by a downed tree approximately 5 miles from the trailhead. There is patchy snow in the shadows on the road, and these patches, while short, can be impassible unless you have high clearance and excellent tires or chains. I got my Subaru forester with AT tires stuck, and had to dig/get myself towed out. The snow will be melting by the day though, so that will get less problematic over time, but unfortunately, someone will need to cut the tree that is across the road as it is large and you cannot go around/over it.

Did you hike past the downed tree? I'm wondering how much snow is still on that section of the road.

I didn't go past the downed tree. I would guess that there are still spots of snow that are up to 1.5 feet high in the shade, but these are probably shrinking fairly quickly.
