I have second hand information. Dale Waldron of Waldron's Auto Body last Sat attempted to do a loop from Wentworth to Ellis Creek thru the bowl out Ice House. Well he explained to me that the rocky section climbing just out of Wentworth Campground is a raging stream. Spent all day busting thru snowdrifts making his way to Ellis Creek. Made his way to the wooded section with a (haha) diving snorkel. Only to be turned around in the trees due to 6 to 8 feet of snow cone snow. Had to drive all the way back around thru Wentworth to go home. He was driving a TJ with a long arm lift, 35's locked. Used his winch all day long. So the question is? Is it passable? Guess we will find out. Also there is a cold storm coming out of the Gulf of Alaska Monday and is bringing snow. Good luck to all. I will certainly be there attempting to make it myself. Fortunately I only live near Pollock Pines, if I can't make it is only a short drive back home
