Tim, Telos Rd is routinely maintained/plowed. Williams Pond Rd (the classic 6-mile western approach ending at Nesowadnehunk) is typically not maintained, but sometimes broken out by snowmobiles when the park is doing work toward the northern reaches. You can check with the office now to learn of general plans for such work if any, as well as closer to your trip date for a final check. It may not be a single quick call, as sometimes the office doesn't have the pertinent info and they'll need to put you in touch with a ranger, which an take a day or 2. If projects aren't going on in the area, there's a possibility that it may be broken out by hikers ahead of you, but the office may not have the latest info on this. You can also lay down some of your own bets after taking a look at the reservation calendar. Of course, even with the best laid plans, Mother Nature can be devastatingly mischievous. I remember one year when a friend eagerly headed up with his group, pulks and all, and was met with a generous batch of fresh, waist-high powder. After a test of traversability yielded discouraging results, he just broke out laughing and headed home. Alex
