Road Bulletins
The road is actually paved up to KM1.4. To the fork with Tearse Creek FSR its in great shape.
Beyond you'll come across a few fairly deep puddles and sections of loose rock and alder. No major washouts or cross ditches though.
Where I have it labeled as heavily degraded isn't due to a washout but the road just becomes rougher, looser, and more alder covered in this section to the point I think an AWD crossover vehicle would have some troubles.
It is then completely covered in alder at the junction with Sumallo 3261.
Popular with dirtbikes, atvs, etc. Just something to be aware of.

Road excellent to the old ski resort turn off, then gets narrow and overgrown. Beyond 8km expect significant pin stripping and a few steep sections are loose boulders. A few flooded stretches. But otherwise doable in a Taco with all terrain fires to the crossing of Sumallo Creek just beyond 11.5km. Sketchy turn around and just enough space to fit one truck. Do not attempt to drive further as it’s ATV only beyond that.
Drove to 4.5km (just after Tearse creek) easily - 2WD. Snow begins there. Fairly deep rutting and erosion 3km from there at the 7km mark.
Only drove the Sumallo FSR for 4km and then turned off it for a Spur road to get to the old ski lift. Sumallo was in good condition for those 4km for any type of vehicle. Will update the spur road in another bulletin
