Anyone been to Lassen lately?

no snow dude. check the webcams. they are depressing.

I saw the peak today and there is zero snow on it.

I assume there is still no snow on Lassen. Can you drive to the summer time trailhead?

I got a quick email response from a park ranger. Sounds like the road is closed due to ice. Can only get within 8 miles of the trailhead.

You can get a lot closer than 8 miles. The Lassen parking lot is only 3.1 miles from Sulphur Works, and 4 miles from the south entrance (the furthest you'd have to walk).

Just follow the road to Sulphur Works, then shortcut northeast of Diamond Peak through the woods to where the road heads north at 8600 feet. Another 100 foot shortcut below the switchbacks at Pilot Pinnacle and you are there in just 4 miles.

It only takes a couple hours and for anyone in OK shape Lassen is still a reasonable dayhike.
