The approach mapped here begins from a pullout on Bogus Basin Road. If there’s no parking then you may have to start from elsewhere. An alternative is to park in the main resort lot and use the inbounds up-track to Deer Point. However, the advantage of this backcountry route is that you can scout lines on either side of the ridge on your way up.

Once up on the shoulder of Deer Point, you can choose to ski the popular west side back to the road, or you could check out the Dry Creek drainage on the other side. That aspect has some steeper south-facing chutes that can be really good on a powder day or in corn condition. Another option is to continue over Deer Point toward Doe Point and the mellow terrain of Clear Creek drainage to the east. The rolling ridgetop and sparse trees make it easy to cover some ground, so you can poke around to find your ideal line to ski.
