I was in the area of the Prince Creek Trails today. You can drive almost to the cattle guard at the bottom with any vehicle. After that it hasn't been plowed lately, but with 4x4 you can get up to the junction where the road to the trail head takes off. So in a nutshell, not too close for back country skiing for a day trip. You can bring a sled part of the way until you get to the restricted area.
