Haven't been this year yet, but there's sure to be some skiing.
The La Sal are kind of a throwback as far as Forest Circus road management goes. For all the access points, only a few have dates/gates. It's up to you how much mud you drive or walk. Kind of old fashioned and kind of refreshing.
2WD will get you to a bunch of trailheads. Grand County plows the one for Gold Basin pretty high, like 9,800' ?
La Sal Pass from the E is sweet access up high (W side is wheelin). The crux is a creek crossing down low, then its 2WD to above 10,000' (doubt you'll get that high yet). That one & the other road up Squirrel Cr ( I think ?) will get you plenty close for S and E sides of Tuk & Peale.
Manns Pk from the E will deny your car, but the road is plenty walkable and Beaver Basin is pretty cool.
I've got a bunch of pics on a flash drive I can't find, but here's some from last May :
Manns Pk from E
Looking S from Manns Pk
South Mountain from NE
I'll be down there next month, curious as to what it looks like. If you get up high, post some pics!
