I can just about guarantee a huge snowdrift within a quarter mile of getting over the top of the ridge and on skyline.. Then its close to three mile hike to sawtooth trailhead and a little closer to buck ridge. I did that two years ago the week before memorial weekend thinking same as you but couldnt get around that snow drift .. There will be lots of snow in the treeline until you hit the open ridges that add to the adventure..

No body has driven any further than the 46-64 fork so I'm making that base. Snowshoed towards Deadman, one more turn to go. I've forgotten how snowshoes are really difficult to sit in. Tough on hip flexors as well. Hurts so good

Awesome. Keep the pics coming.
Looking like a fun snow hiking weekend around there.
Those bears have to still be sleeping with all that white

Well, I glassed some terrain for a bit with my eyes closed. Didn't see any bears. I dropped a bunch of elevation side hilled for a bit and am pretty sure I have 2 broken hip socket bones. Note to self, befriend snowmobile people. I just can't seem to find a good spot to glass bare hillsides. Not because there are none there is. Just few and far between.
