Anybody know what the road access is like to the cheam ranges? Wondering how far up its possible to drive with a 4X4 right now? Much snow?

Last year June 26th or 28th I went to hike Mt Cheam. I was unable to make it to the parking lot because there was too much snow! There was about 1 metre of snow in the parking lot. I would say snowmobile only for 1-2 months still.

Was there any snow near the gravel pitt on the chipmunk fsr? Or do you know what elevation the snow line was?

road's very bad. I went up a few weeks ago, and there's 8 foot deep washouts and ditches running right down the middle of the road. I don't know where the snow is right now

No truck has a fart's chance in a windstorm of getting through. I'm pretty sure that the big washout is within a km or two of the gravel pit. And that was in January

Just found the picture we took. It's somewhat inaccurate because the washout looks small here, but in real its pretty big. In the pic we are driving in the ditch beside. No four by four truck will get through. Quads maybe. But its probably gotten worse since then
