five mile is in Canada it is about 5 miles from the border. That is the name of the creek. There is a bridge there and a sign. There will be skin tracks. Has better snow short runs but there are some rocks. The pass is the usual continental crap snowpack. If you are motivated you can ski down 5 mile creek to the Klehini and try to ski Mcdonell. that is a good place to approach from. Klehini was wide open and raging when I was last there. But really I would save the drive and go to Thompson Pass IMHO that is the place to be this year.

5 mile will be dust on crust right now, way too solar for current conditions. Go up the saddle W of Mcdonnell and ski back there. That climate may have a buried WL down 40-100cm. Otherwise things are locked up across the border in the USA, and i think you'll find stable snow up there.I think with the current weather pattern storms are not making it quite this far N - full blue here today...
Juneau is maybe a different story.Drive slow, homie.
