Tet road Dangerous water bars Alert / Warning Thursday, January 02, 2020
Went up Dec 31st to check road with heavy rain no water in all the water bars but some engine oil in 1. A Honda CRV with fairly good clearance tore its oil pan. The driver was going very slow and still did damage. I gave them a ride out to cell phone range sweet talked a tow truck to tow them out. That road is to dangerous now I have cancelled all the school groups that I was to haul up there. There has not been a water problem on that road. I was raising funds to start plowing that road again but now can’t get plow truck through the water bars. Access has been screwed up Tourism will be affected. Snow and water bars don’t work well together. To bad use to be good access.

Tet road. Deep water bars punctured oil pan Alert / Warning Saturday, January 04, 2020
To young ladies in a CRV with good clearance punctured there oil pan because of stupid water bars. I gave them a ride out to get a tow truck. They were not going fast they were going very slow through the water bars. Great way to wreck a trip on New Year’s Eve. The SCRD and Tet outdoor club need to deal with road issue. Also Dakota Ridge has water bars my car bottomed out in them. Why now never had water bars for 28 years.

Fresh snow Current Conditions Sunday, January 12, 2020
If you can make it through the terrible water bars Conditions are great with all the fresh snow. You must put on chains. Yesterday there was 20+cm of fresh snow looks like another 20cm today.
