Road Bulletins
Up to 1000m/8.75km in, road is very wide and well graded, very easy travel for most cars. Past that it's quite degraded with a lot of large unavoidable rocks, F150 territory, clearance over entry/exit angles for that part, light pinstriping the whole way. Only takes 35 mins to hike to the trailhead for Tricouni from 1000m.
We drove with a 2WD car with snow tires. Because of the snow/ice on the road, we stopped driving at 2.5km from the entrance instead of 5.0km where the Chance Creek FSR branches out. We stopped at one steep section with snow where I was not confident so I didn't want to push further and get stuck. A 4x4 should have no problem.
Except for the snow/ice, Chance Creek FSR looked in good shape. There was a small water bar that is possible to travel because it's only on the left side of the road. At 800m elevation, there is a large tree trunk on the left branch and there is a sign saying that the road further has been deactivated permanently.
On the right branch, there is a gate with a sign "ACTIVE MINING. Do not enter. Other than an Inspector authorized by the Manager ... or be permitted to enter..." Bellarock Enterprise 604-815-1323

Snow started at 800m, we drove to 1000m in 4x4 without putting on chains or airing down and could ski from our parking.
[From Tareef Dedhar] - drove to 800m where the road forks off to the Roe C-600 Spur (Cloudburst Branch). No issues getting this far.
Road is in pretty good condition to about 1000m elevation - we made it in a Subaru forester. Beyond that you can drive up with a high clearance 4x4 (we did indeed see at truck at the trailhead) at about 1350m elevation.
