We skiied Silver Star via the creek route this weekend as an overnight trip.
Snow starts continuously about 500 ft above the road. I tried to ski directly out of the parking lot and that was a mess.
The glacier is in great shape, brought rope, harness, pickets but didn’t need them. We had to a frame the skis almost the whole climb, so crampons were helpful.
I thought the scramble to the summit had one spooky move. Climbing in ski boots is spicy!
Otherwise the skiing was great, and the views are incredible.
