East Kachess Road 4818

FS 4818 is blocked by a snow berm that requires 18in or more ground clearance to cross. At this time of year, the snow cover is 12 in to 48 in, we slush during the day, and hard snow and ice at night with deep confused ruts..The ruts are ok, but get out of the ruts and you will get stuck. We were sent to recover a pair of lifted 4Runners that slid into the ditch 7 miles in. Recovery complicated by no safe place to turn around. ( winch pulls later, we completed the recovery and were able to slowly return to Easton. Not recommended for any vehicle without a winch and chains or tracked snow vehicle until late March.
