Thanks to the Deals Gap Motorcycle Resort for this pic. Their Facebook post (embedded in their website) says "We often get questions about what it's like around here in the winter." They go on to say that the Dragon is a low priority to plow and salt because it is lightly traveled in winter and Blount County TDOT has its hands full with more essential roads. (I'll guess also that the National Park Service is not crazy about salt leaching into the surrounding soil.)
The Dragon is challenging enough in ideal weather. More so in the rain. Now I understand better why we see locals driving 4WD pickups in Killboy's Highlights during the "season."
