The washout is worse than last year. If you look at the photo, the far circle is where the bottom of my car (Element) hit the road -- there's a big dip in the road and my front left tire just sank right into it -- and the near circle is where I got stuck backing up. I was able to get out, but it was harrowing for a few minutes. I definitely do not recommend trying to cross unless you're very confident in the clearance and capability of your car. I ended up parking on the lower side and hiking up the road to the trailhead (I estimate about 3/4m).
Trail is in good shape, although several blow downs -- none difficult to cross.
The deep snow starts around the stream crossing, which is where I turned back. The stream is wide and has taken over part of the trail at the moment, so waterproof boots would be good.
