For those who asked, Highgrade is in good condition. There are a lot of downed trees from the storm and there were a lot of crews cutting them and diverting traffic. Most of the snow is off the road, but a few little mudslides come onto the shoulder.
Up higher on some of the side roads, things got messy. Lots of water running across the road in the afternoon and you need to be really careful of places where gravel driveways were plowed across the street.
I did about 50 miles today with about 5,500' of climbing. Tomorrow I will probably do Lookout-Cabrini-Paradise to take it a little easier.
