Checked out the condition of the Mt-7 access road on the first weekend in May. Snow is blocking safe access to the 9k “Lower Launch” in the shadow section right after the cut-off at 8k. Some vehicles have made it through including a group of mountain bikers in a 4x4 who powered their way through the snow as I was turning around.
9K launch will probably be accessible by mid-may with a bit of warm weather. Mud, ruts and running water included. These days with increased early traffic from both Mtn. Bikers and Flyers, the road does tend to take a beating at this time of year because it is soft and muddy in many sections with frost heaves everywhere. Keep this in mind and drive responsibly if you are heading up.
