Road Bulletins
(As a note, I think this road should be split up in two sections from the main road up. 0-7.5k, and then reset at 0 going up the mountain) I did not pass, stopped at 7km mark due to what looked like a deep muddy puddle. There were a few braids(bypasses) for some other deep unknown depth mud puddles all the way up. The trail when wet would be very soft. There’s a decent rut right at 0-0.5k from someone who went up when it was wet. I choose to turn around and try the other way to be safe. Going up the mountain was a bit more than expected, HC 4x4 with 4low recommended, coming down is steep.
Drove to the parking area at 1,900m just before the lookout. Road covered in ~4" of snow after this. This road is narrow & steep the whole way up with few pullouts & some medium sized waterbars. The hardest parts were the last major switchback & a rocky section just before the end. Last good spot to park before this was at the top of Stairway to Heaven MTB trail (second last big switchback).
We came up from the south joining this road at KM7.5, on descent we went north, the road had several muddy deep rutted sections from KM7.5-KM0. Was glad we were driving down this way & not up as this would've been more challenging & easy to get stuck.

[From Aednik Klay] - Road is snow free and driveable to the end. ATV recommended for last few kilometers as the road is narrow and degraded at this section.
