Have you ridden over Baldy and Yogo Peak? I went up there last week and they said the trail was covered with tornado blowdown. So I rode up Snow Creek for a while and came to an old gold mine.
No, I haven't been up near baldy or yogo peak this year yet. The storm must have hit there too. I talked to some moto guys that said the silver gulch trail also got hit. How was the snow creek trail? I've never been up that. You can still do a nice little loop ride by riding up dry wolf trail then turning at the silver gulch trail. Go over the bridge and up a few hundred feet to the intersection with the bypass trail and just ride down that instead of going up silver gulch. Its actually a really fun coasting downhill.
Snow creek is quite steep especially at the top, its a pretty tight canyon very scenic, heavy timber, mossy, it has a sweet little creek coming down crystal clear, there are about four or five crossings and a SUPER rickety bridge up by the old mine, its two track mostly, rocky. I was gunning for baldy but ran out of steam there at the mine and turned back. At Stanford they said that there was a new travel plan coming out in August that would close a lot of the Middle Fork WSA to motorcycle traffic and I am assuming bicycles as well.
Get this, Greg406 told me that in the Gallatin National Forest it is legal to "bushwack" anywhere on a bicycle or foot. I guess you just have to stay off closed trails, ha.
