Stoke’s take
No new snow has fallen in the past 48 hours, none is forecast, and the base is only 1 inch deep. Summit wind is light at 5.8 mph and it's 26°F, so bring layers. Drive time isn't known yet, so check it before you leave, and read the official Chugach National Forest Avalanche Center forecast first.
