Is there a time frame out there yet for its reopening? thanks

From Eric Gilbertson's recent trip report of his Glacier Peak attempt March 15, 2023: "We met up at the turnoff for Suiattle River Road at 7am Saturday, but then we saw a sign posted on a kiosk next to the road. It was a fire closure order for the entire road and area within the national forest. I recalled this area being closed last summer due to forest fires, but the closure order had been set to expire by the end of October. Fire closures are always lifted in the fall when the snow starts, so I had figured this one was the same. But the order posted said that the closure was extended in November and the order was valid through Dec 31, 2023. It was a $5k fine per person for entering, even driving on the road." https://www.countryhighpoints.com/glacier-peak-attempt-to-6000ft/

I wouldn't expect MBSNF to give any update (or reason) for the closure. It was closed all of 2022 too, from the 2021 fires in the same location.
