Thanks for the info. Yeah, the Valley is pretty tempting right now. Just trying to go somewhere a little off the beaten track for the long weekend.

bingo,
You cannot get to the normal 2WD spots on any of the side roads now because the gates are locked. As Mike indicated, you can presently get to Chiquito Dome along Minarets Road. Any higher locations will require hiking through snow and starting climbs in the snow.

I appreciate the info. Looks like we'll be checking out Chiquita dome. Just to be clear, Minerets Rd. is all that's open right now?

I haven't been up Minarets in awhile, but Jeremy is right, once you get passed mile high, some of those corners hold ice till May. 2wd might be an epic out. Also Chiquito might be a little wet too.

What's the beta for skinning from Beasore to the Shuteye Summit?

Besore Road is not maintained in the winter. You may be skinning not just from Cold Spring Summit, but quite a ways up Besore Road. Cold Spring Summit is over 7000 feet and there is likely to be snow on the Besore Road starting at 5000 feet.
Assuming you can get to Cold Spring Summit on Besore Road, head south on open areas of snow to Chikoot Lake area. Stay away from the open lake area since it has water in the winter (do not want to break through the ice). Head up on snow and rocks to the north Shuteye Peak (I assume you are referring to the North peak and not the south peak. The north peak is called Little Shuteye although it is taller.

Minarets Road is open to the winter gate just above Mammoth Pool turnoff - no snow even in the shade.
Dirt roads took a pounding from the runoff this season - running into 2 foot deep ruts in off-camber turns - drive slow.
Beasore still sketchy over Cold Springs Summit - mostly from downed tree trash mixed with icy crud..

Bump for data inquiry on Shuteye roads/approaches. My wife and I are hoping to get up there for the first week of June. That damn guidebook has me drooling like a fool. Must. Taste. Shuteye. Our last attempt was two years ago in May, and big storms shut us down.

If you're headed to Big Sleep use the Cascadel road. There are still some obstacles from the Mammoth Pools Road.
