Good news!! The north while remaining officially closed does have the hole filled so you don't have to drive off the road to get past it. The north pass has some snow and ice at the top. You probably should have four wheel drive high clearance with good strong tires but two wheel high clearance would probably make it with good traction tires. Grading is being done from the bottom of the valley out both ways. It should take 3 weeks to finish all the road north south and valley providing the weather does not go bad. Some bumps and holes on north side. South side is in better shape than north at this point. Watch out for road equipment as up to four graders are working their way out. So the north is passable with the right vehicle it is just not officially open. Right now some of the equipment is out of the valley for maintenance but they will be back to finish the job. Vernon
