Don,t plan on riding the highway it is plowed and will be open by the weekend. They are just waiting for this storm to leave the area. Would be alot of T'd off hunters if they closed the road this early. They won't be charging to park at Green Rock , they will only be charging for Forest maintained parking which is skier parking at green rock.
the road is closed for the season....just talked to the plow driver...if you park for the day along 130 at green rock there is no charge, but if your trailer/truck/whatever is there overnight, you may get a ticket...if you park in the greenrock hiking trail parking lot there is a charge..

ACCOUNT CLOSED
If you try riding and the forest service catches ya, you will get a ticket.
They haven't started selling permits yet.
so, nope. No one has been riding yet
I am going up tomorrow to get the last of our winter prep work done. (no sleds)
Looks like ~11" on the ground down low (Cinnabar) and ~21" on the ground at French Creek as of now. So figure 6-8 down low and 15 up top?!?
I'll take some pictures if there is anything worth taking a picture of - especially when I get the truck stuck

Gate is closed, just not locked for the season. Yet.
We went up for a day trip to pack in the winter supplies, do some maintenance/snow removal, and bring back the 4 wheelers today. The Albany lot is dry, but once you head around the second curve on the trail there was snow on the road (at least in the morning - by the time we left in the afternoon all the hunting traffic and the sun had the road into a soupy mess of mud and slush).
Good news though - there is a bunch of snow up there. Easily 8-10" on the ground at our cabin in the trees, 6 inches where the sun is hitting the snow. I shoveled about 12-15 inches off of the north deck where the sun does not hit - it was settled down quite a bit so I believe it when they said it snowed 18-20 inches up there last weekend.
I took a few pictures on the road on the way up there - there was some ice on Rob Roy (north of the road by Cinnabar and near Elk Creek - the T trail, but the main portion of the lake is still open water, probably will be for several more weeks at least. Next chance of snow is Tues & Wed. We'll see what happens.
Ice on Rob Roy north of trail Q (looking toward Cinnabar)
~7 miles up Q trail from Albany - look hard and you can see the gap
~7 miles up Q from Albany again
Getting close to the Q-T intersection

Good pics Tony! that got me a lil excited! 
Thanks for the Pic tmk50
Looks like the die off is still going on this year. It was bad last year when I was there in early Sep.
The beetles are doing a lot of damage. The FS has hired a crew to cut trees down up there along some of the major trails/roads. There is no market for the wood, I heard that they will just be stacking it for now. That is the logging that safesnorider posted about. There was a crew working north of Rob Roy on Friday.
We drove back up this morning to have some work done on the snowcat. I had a few minutes so I took a few more pictures. Not much new snow over the last 7 days - but above 9000-9200 feet the snow is holding up pretty good. It was 27 degrees when we got up here, the sun is trying to come out now and it is up to 33. Hopefully some storms will roll in and put some more snow on the ground.

Road is closed for the season, plows cant keep up, they left the gates open so that hunters can get out, if you get caught going past the gate though you can be ticketed
......an undisclosed source gave me this photo. Told me there was a 24 inch base with 6-8 inches of fresh now on top (according to his probe.) Not sure how he got this info because I was under the impression that you can't ride until the permits come out and the website isn't selling them yet
