Current Plow Crew Work Locations: The crew made it to mile 59 yesterday (Top of Highway Pass). The snow was heavily drifted as usual and progress slowed. From miles 56 to 66 is typically the slowest going due to the increased amount of snow and drifting. Steam Crew Locations: Hard to find any ice this spring. We've cut back to one steam crew.
Snow Depths: 6' to 12' in the ditch. 30-40'' is the average depth on the road

Notes/Observations/Comments: B&U has serviced Tek Rest Stop and thanks for that!. The road is open to the public to mile 30. This could be a record for the earliest but I would have to confirm with some retirees before making such a statement.
