Old post, I know, but if you're still looking a friend of mine does this sort of aluminum fab. His website is https://greenlaneoffroad.com/. Doesn't look like he's got a full bumper listed but he does custom fab as well so you could give him a call and ask.
Got up Arrowsmith this weekend and the road is snowed in by now. Beyond the capabilities of my stock Xterra, but we had some fun flying the drone around and messing about in the snow. There were lots of people up there with quads, kids toboganning, roasting marshmallows, etc. Even saw a sled although I don't think the snow's deep enough for that yet. There was a foot of snow up in the Arrowsmith saddle and maybe 4-6 inches on the roads at the base of the skihill.
We also made it up to Holyoak Lake behind ladysmith
Jewel lake is a few hours hike in. Most of the best spots are. The roads are all built for logging so anywhere you can drive to has been clear-cut fairly recently and they rarely go up into the alpine.
I see it now, thanks. Looks like you were driving up the old Mt. Cokely ski hill; it's just barely visible as a track on the sat photos. We might give it a try but I'm thinking it'll have to wait until summer for a proper exploration.

Looks like access is via pass 40. I'm seeing a gate in my paper BRMB but I doubt they lock it much unless there's active logging out that way.
