I'm trying to find a mello-but-fun winter ascent to do next Saturday. I seem to remember doing a fun snow gully on Sugarloaf a number of years ago. I am thinking about going back to find it again.
Anyone know snow conditions up there? How close to the Secret Lake parking can you drive in the Winter?

Since Sugarloaf is boarded on 3 sides by Alta, and Snowbird access is limited. Your best bet is to snowmobile in from Heber, and approach that way.

Access is limited with the resort open. You may want to look at some of the climbs on Mt Olympus or some of the ice gullies in LCC. Check the Avi forecast and plan accordingly.
