Yes I'll have winter tires, but how are the roads to any of the interior mountains (big white, silverstar, hemlock, rev, etc) and mt. baker in terms of vertical car clearance? Or irrelevant because all the roads are typically paved. For example, will a stock height sedan run into any issues vs a stock height suv (both having winter tires).

The roads leading up to the mountain resorts typically tend to be clear, or at least kept to a minimum amount of snow on the road. Where you'll come across an issue is the highways leading up to the mountains, especially those where you have to hit the Coquihalla first (Sun Peaks, Revelstoke, Big White, etc.) While the 5 and 97c are regularly plowed and maintained, it's not uncommon for either highway to get large dumps of snow. I almost got my old Nissan Pathfinder high centered late one night near the Coquihalla Summit from the amount of snow that was dumping. 97c around the mine can be a crapshoot at times as well when it comes to ground clearance.
Just an FYI.
