Road Bulletins
No change from previous report, other than some snow coverage. We were able to drive to ~ 8 km (~ 1475 m elevation) before the snow became too deep.
The creek crossing at ~ 9.5 km was no problem on foot across a small log using poles for balance. Expect I could've easily driven through the creek if I'd been able to drive this far.
The cross ditches on the switchbacks aren't especially big but very harsh.

As soon as you leave Grey Rock FSR the waterbars start. This road switchbacks steeply and the water bars were cut fairly aggressive. Shortwheel base will help alot. 1994 Toyota Pickup with no lift and 31 inch tires handled it fine. Our buddy also had a new Jeep and obviously did fine. The grade and waterbars you will want something with a transmission that can handle these types of grades getting outta the valley.
There is a bridge out where the road crosses Truax creek around the 10.1km mark on the map, we had alot of melt water and couldn't see what the creek bottom was was like and didn't want to get stuck so we parked our vehicles. Lower water we probably would have driven thru it.
