Road Bulletins
There is a trench, 4.5' wide by 3' deep with vertical sides, impassable by atv, between 1.5 and 2km up.
There were 3 or 4 small water bars to 1 km. Dragged my hitch slider a bit on 2. Picked a better line going out and didn't scrape it. There was a deeper cross ditch after 1 km I didn't think my Pilot Trailsport had enough clearance for, so I turned around.
The bottom of the FSR has a sign that says "Slollicum Peak closed Mo-Fri". The second gate has a sign saying "closed". Since it was Saturday and the gate was only dummy locked, we went ahead. Road is in great condition, no potholes, no water bars. One steep section that is a bit loose but any car with a bit of clearance should make it (for reference, I drive a stock Rav4 but have good tires). One bigger rock on the road that could be moved aside but tons of space to just drive around it so we didn't bother.
The gate at ~610m elevation was closed. The force was not with us. :(
Drove to the Cascade Bay road - snow free up to there.
Some rought spots, but nothing any clearance 4x4 can't handle.

Gate at 4.5km was open still on the weekend. Tree planters are working the cut block at the 6km mark and the road is generally good condition until 4km or so. You’d want a 4x4 for the steep upper part. Snow starts at 6.5km
I drove my AWD SUV to km 4 and stopped at the closed gate. The road was in very good shape with a few potholes and some easily manageable water ditches across it. I walked past the gate and up to the end of the road. Deactivation ditches got much deeper around km 6 so you would need good clearance and likely 4WD. Patches of snow started about km 6.5 and the road quickly became snow covered. The photo is around km 5 but represents how the road is from its beginning g.
Gate still open on Saturday Feb 10. Agree 4x4 is needed for deep cross ditches. Parked at 850m in an stock Xterra which was at its limit.
To touch on the last update from Justine, the gate at 4.25km's is still open. The waterbars are fairly aggressive so I would agree with what Justine said about long wheelbase's probably gonna be dragging bumpers. The ice storm a few weeks back dropped a few trees over the road right at the 6.7km left fork so we parked there. Only 500m distance to walk to get to the creek crossing if you don't bring a bow saw or chainsaw.
Road is newly built but has some cross-ditches for the winter. Low clearance vehicles and trucks with a long wheel base will likely get high-centered going through some of the cross-ditches. There's a gate at roughly 49.37669, -121.73063, that's open as of Dec 29, 2023.
I connected to this road via the slollicum trail from the 200 branch below. From where the trail intersected the road I could see an open gate a few hundred meters back. Snow started around 800m and was consistent by 850m. Larger cross ditches were present after about the 6.5km mark that would require a HC 4X4, but providing the gate is open you could drive all the way to where the trail to slollicum leaves the road and goes into the forest. A range rover was parked at the trailhead when we returned from the peak.
Connected onto this FSR via Slollicum Trail and walked it for ~2km to where the trail left the road. Road has seen some recent regrading and several new culverts installed, the section we walked is smooth as butter (except the last two culverts have yet to be installed). Saw no vehicles on the road or any signs of recent traffic, so presumably it's gated near the bottom. Didn't look like the new logging had started yet. Road would be driveable in a sedan if accessible, gravel bike would also be fine (MTB not needed). Depending on where the gate is, taking a bike and cycling the length of this FSR might be a faster way to access Slollicum rather than hiking from the bottom via full Slollicum Trail (connecting Slollicum Trail from lower road is not bike-friendly)... [Edit from Admin] - merged CB1100 Road into Slollicum Creek FSR based on road imagery. Bulletin applies to CB1100 which is now just the upper part of Slollicum Creek FSR
Likely going to be used for logging in the near future. I believe it is gated, probably near the start.
