i snowmobile up there once or twice a year, and yes there is always tons of snow especially up by the wind tower. And that guy is right, that steep trail is no joke, it can be a difficult ride up (or even down).
a couple years a group of us were heading up that steep trail, and there was a groomer heading down. there is no way to get by, so we all had to turn around and go back down. that was "fun".
