In case anyone is curious, I went back up there yesterday. Snowy from pavement but just trace snow until well up the trail. Got to about 0.1 miles from the top of Hawkins trail when I noticed a hissing tire (not that there's much difference between 2PSI and 0PSI). Took huge wheel speed bouncing off invisible rocks to even get up to the lake and ripped a sidewall open (oh well, every time I rip a sidewall I actually save money thanks to Discount Tire certs, you don't even have to lie about what you were doing to get it covered!).
About 2 feet of heavy wet slush with a rain crust above the lake.
Did a 1000ft ski run above parking on horrendously bad snow conditions.
Ok, I've had my fall fun and am ready for real snow wheeling season to start now.
