Road Bulletins
[From Dane W] - we went from Squamish valley. Chains on at 5km. Parked at 7km at the bridge. Coverage great in the forest and on the road on the way down, but icy AF so made for a very miserable ski out in the sled track.
Was able to drive to ~9km in a Subaru before being stopped by icy conditions. Putting chains on likely would've gotten you closer to 10km.
The big washout at 7km looked intimidating, but was no problem to navigate in a Forester.

[Matthew S.] - washout at 7km is style bypassable with a high clearance vehicle
Impasse at 7km (Kai Zhang reported on: May 11, 2024) can be easily avoided by driving around it. I suspect some effort was put in to improve it. We missed the Tricouni turnoff to BR-250 and ended up doing the bypass around it twice. Stock 4runner had zero issues. If you made it up this far you will not have any issues with this impasse.
Road up to the TFL 240 fork is AWD medium clearance. couple smaller washouts and water bars, and a bit rocky, so pay attention to your tires
Washout described by previous poster at 49.96247, -123.25983 has heavily degraded and is now impassible with a direct attack. We did some road work and bypassed on the left (heading uphill) with a stock 4Runner, tricky driving and bottoming out in places. Road after washout was drivable to current snowline at 1.1km elevation.
Manageable for AWD with reasonable clearance. Vigilant driving required for first 3.5km with a couple steeper sections with ruts in the road. Manageable water bar at ~6.5km. Large water bar at 7km where we stopped. Road is in good condition afterward with a couple 4WD vehicles reaching around 10km on Branch 270.
Used Branch 200 to access Cloudburst. Road is is pretty good shape until a washout at about 6.5km where we parked. Road after this washout right to the trailhead is totally driveable if you’re able to get over the washout. We saw some trucks going up but we didn’t have the balls :)
