Road Bulletins
5-10cm of snow on road at turn-off from Soo mainline, increasing with elevation. Two Tacomas with chains made it up to about 850m. Managed to ski out almost all the way back to the mainline.
Similar to previous post. Water bars are all fairly mellow for a vehicle with some clearance (Subaru outback or similar). Reached 1150m on Nov 15 and skied from there.
Road is in good condition, steep in places and has lots of drainage ditches. AWD or better recommended. A 2wd could make it but make sure you have a bit of clearance for the drainage ditches.
A logging crew had plowed the road up to the 2km mark for their heli operation. The road beyond had around 20-30cm of snow. With chains you may be able to drive to the end as the snow was quite airy
Steep all the way and loose at places necessitates 4wd or good power. Drove to 1170m elevation and parked as snow got too deep for my like.
[From Tareef Dedhar] - Road was icier than Wednesday, stopped at 1150m due to traction loss, even with chains on my front tires. Probably could've made it if I also aired down but it wasn't worth the time hassle. Road hike was trivial, we followed a combination of my old ski tracks and some snowshoe tracks that deviated slightly from them to the 1600m lake, where tracks ended.
[From Tara VH] - 4WD (no water bars, just rough gravel. My rav made it up to the TH no problem)
