How far is the road plowed, or did you ride in from km 17 staging area. I was in there last year and it is an amazing area but prone to slides

We unloaded and rode in from km 25 and yes i do have some pictures but having troubles putting them on here and yes it was pure ice on the road that day and if you were pulling a trailer you were using chains to get up to at least km 5 and i will keep trying to load some pics.:D

We were there on jan 5 too. We drove to 49 marker and mostly in 2wd, until we got stuck around a corner and had to put on the chains. But after that we could have taken them off. It sure was deep. It was our first time in there, and we never made it to the first bowl. Just to a meadow before the bowl.
