Re: Mt. Huron Saturday
Looks like 30-40" around the Huron area according to NOAA, so you're looking at a serious wallow fest. It will require a night out unless you're Superman. You'll be starting near where the Winfield road is no longer plowed, which is ~4 miles east of the Missouri Gulch trailhead. Huron only sees a handful of winter ascents a year, so you'll likely be busting a trench.

There might also be high avalanche danger on some of those open(ish) slopes leading to the upper basin.
