[From Maria Masiar] - The Rutherford road is snow free to 17km. There are snow patches here and there in shaded areas but you can drive past them easily. You can likely clear everything with an AWD for the lower road.
We drove to the bridge over Rutherford Creek around 17km in and it was all in great shape, though very icy at the time we went. I wasn't driving but I don't recall any cross ditches or barely even any potholes.
The road was in great condition all the way to the 16km where we turned off. A few deep pot holes but I don’t see many vehicles having issues. Not affected by the recent atmospheric river at all.
