Flag Point Lookout this weekend

I've got the Flag Point Lookout off of Rd 44 reserved this Saturday night (2/28). Planning on parking near Sandy Ridge, heading up Still Creek, and then either up Rd 44 or Bennett Pass Rd along Gunsight Ridge (last part depends on actual snow levels Saturday morning).

Right now it's just me. There's only a single bed inside the lookout, so I'm calling that, but if anyone else wants to join me, there's probably room on the floor for an additional one or two people, but you'd need to bring a sleeping pad.

It's about 50 miles and 7-8,000' of climbing from the parking lot to the lookout, so I'll be on the bike by 9am.

If you're interested, let me know ASAP so we can coordinate. Likely to be some fresh powder, so I'm bringing snowshoes just in case. I'm sure there will be some pushing involved.
