March 20: skiing is good as the recent snow is so dense that breaking trail is easy as you barely sink, though snow is developing a surface crust at lower elevations. Snow is thick though and very wind blown. --There is currently a broken trail out to Gothic that is so-so as it is crusty and uneven.
--The road to Gothic is closed. This means that no motorized vehicles are allowed without permission from the County. --Snodgrass Mountain has not slid this winter so if it does in spring and the debris stops on the road it could delay the opening of the road, which is already seeming like it will be later than usual. --The avalanche up valley from Gothic will probably keep the road closed beyond the town for quite a while this summer.
