Trail not broken at all when we began, but still pretty easy to follow. The more elevation gained, the deeper the powder became as the trail became more ambiguous. Up to 2 feet or more power from the Col to the summit of both Street and Nye. We broke trail, so the path should be clear now, but it snowed the entire day and most of the night, so there is probably a few inches of snow from bottom to top now. There is no base to the snow, so it is very slippery and not much to bite into.
Snowshoes essential, and if you have tails to your MSRs, use them! Trekking poles with powder baskets would be very helpful as well.
If you need Street and Nye in the winter, now would be a good time to do them because the trail is clearly defined, and since we used the GPS line from our Autumn ascent, we were on the actual trail at least 90%.
