Avalanche risk in the area could be a factor so probably best to wait for most of the thaw to finish.
Iditarod trail (a sled dog race) runs through the general area ... so they definitely get snow falls.

Daytime temperatures are getting more comfortable April or May so can perhaps start drilling late April or early May at the earliest.
(temps at Oxide prospect will be nominally 9 degrees C below figures in charts below as it is about 900m higher than Skwentna )
