Drove to Depot Creek with low clearance, AWD vehicle. Two areas with significant erosion (around 3 km) were passable with care. I grazed some sand without sustaining any damage.
The landslide at 2.5km has been repaired, but it appears to be a temporary fix and does not look official. A 4x4 is strongly recommended to pass through this section.
Potholes, but don't really need high clearance until just after 10.5 km. There's a cross ditch to reach the gate. I didn't attempt. Will require high clearance, but others just park here.
[James Moore] - Drove all the way to the bridge across Depot Creek. The gate is still confirmed closed. Snow started a few kilometers before the Lindeman Lake trail but able to make it all the way down the lake without issue.
