Does anyone know the status of Kingston Peak? Is it passable? I'm doubtful but wanted to see if anyone has scouted the area recently.

Appreciate the link. I never know which particular district oversees a certain area.

EDIT: Those status(es) were last updated almost two months ago. Will make sure to call ahead-of-time.

I typically guess a time or two myself. Browser search feature (CTRL-F... Kingston) helps.

Here is a pic of the Alice side access, this is the intersection of Hillside and Hilltop. Still a ways to go before the gates :). I will keep you posted as to opening, this pic was taken 2 minutes from my house :) yesterday. That drift I am on is at least 4' deep.

Don't plan on it until about the end of June - first week of July. I've seen the snow drift on the Apex side (just past the big puddles) still blocking the trail on the 4th of July.

Not to mention that the new seasonal gates will not open until ALL the snow is gone from trail.
