Still early season but it has been good and not a lot of traffic. The road around to the Ram is plowed to the Wigwam junction.

I heard it was plowed for pine beetle control; not logging. That means Purcell Resources are out with pick-ups and sleds identifying suspect trees and doing counts.

Can someone help us out..........What is the vehicle access like to Ram/Lodgepole right now???
1) Is the road plowed to the staging area?
2) Is the road in any decent condition? Snow covered?, Muddy?
3) Given the Morrissey closure, can you access Ram/Lodgepole via the morrissey turnoff from highway 3 just south of Fernie or do you gotta take the long road from down in Elko back up north east to the road into Ram??
Any info would be appreciated!!!

You can access the Ram/LodgePole from the Morrissey turnoff. Stage from Morrissey as the road is not plowed and it is in rough shape. It is a sled ride all the way from Morrissey. In Feb. it was brutal for trucks and once committed there was no turning back. Also, hard to turn around at the compressor station. No plowing what so ever.
Hope that helps, fs
