Snow started around 1km and stayed light until 4km or so when we were on the backside of the mountain where it's not melting. I was with my little boy so we turned around and explored back down
8mile Creek FSR is in amazing condition right now due to active logging at the far end right below Hatfield. Honda CRV can drive to the end. BEWARE of the gate at the bridge that crosses 8mile creek. They are still logging up there and sometimes at the end of their day they will lock the gate. They said when they are done they will remove the gate. We didn't want to take any chances so we parked at the open gate and pushed bikes for 5km and 520m gain to the fork.
