Road Description

According to Chris Jamieson, the Pennask Lake Lodge and Hatheume Lake Resort have full time live in care takers, so they split the cost of plowing that road periodically through the winter. That is referring to the section of Bear Lake FSR from Highway 97c until the lodges.

Road Bulletins

4.10km from the Hwy 97c exit. Parking for Pennask mountain.
After exiting Hwy 97c and getting onto Bear Lake FSR it was mainly snow free with the odd thin section in shaded areas. We drove 4.10km and parked at the spur road right below Pennask Mountain.

Parked at around 4.5 km.
Road is known as Sunset Main on many sources. Plowed to at least 4.5 km north of Pennask Mtn. Not sure if this plowing is for every winter or only applicable for the time being.
