Does the Kootenay Pass open up in the spring or is it closed for good from the Caribou closure?

The caribou closures are permanent to my knowledge, no limited season like Revy closures. The access to NCC land is also limited to kokanee country club members and members from another club from west of the pass. Char creek and boundary areas are open to anyone.
Where exactley is the Char creek and Boundary area?
South side of the Highway, east of the summit.
You can also ride Blazed and Bayonne (north side of highway on east side of summit) to Arkansas lake, north of Arkansas is NCC.

Bayonne has some fun tree riding before NCC land, Blaze enters NCC land pretty early, I don't think there is very much to ride without entering NCC land.
There's also placer lake area which is sandwiched between Blaze and bayonne on the north side of the highway, starts across the highway from boundary.
What is NCC land?

They bought the formerly German owned Darkwoods land and have extended the agreement the local clubs had to ride on their private property.
Surprising to see that they have allowed the snowmobiling to continue, but from what I've heard things have been reasonably positive. Hopefully it continues for years to come because they have a lot of good terrain with very little traffic.
