I need to invest in a bivy for weather like this.

Surprisingly we couldn't cut fresh elk tracks in the snow...

Invest in a bivy for what reason?
Keep you and the pad together to not touch the snow while in the sawtooth or to bivy out from the sawtooth for a night?

I had bearpawwilderness make me a custom size cuben bottom, breathable upper with mesh over head for a very reasonable price that I'd highly recommend.

The sawtooth was up before the snow got bad but we couldn't keep the condensation from piling up inside the sawtooth. Opened up the upper zipper vent. Opened up some on the sides to allow more are movement but there was so much moisture between wet gear and breathing that the tyvek was collecting water under our sleeping pads.

Heat and moisture create condensation where two different temperatures meet at a fabric.
Period.

Gotcha, that is the main reason I got the bivy with my megatarp.
