Xiling snow mountain

- Usually is there still snow in mid-March?
- I have read some where that this year (2024) the mountain was closed from 18th March till April. Does this happen every year?
- My group has 5 people. Is it a good idea to get a Taxi via DiDi from the downtown of Chengdu to the mountain (and also return)? What will be an approximate cost?
Thanks for your help in advance.
