I've gotten the lottery fewer times than day-of permits. I don't know how to win the lottery, but for day-of permits just be at the ranger station in town bright and early. Upper Snow Lake should be one of your choices. EDIT: on a weekday, especially early, like Monday.

That's such a gamble though! Driving hundreds of miles just to get turned away would be suuuuch a bummer lol

That's true, that would suck so bad. I have never been turned away - at a minimum I've been able to get a spot at Colchuck - but I can imagine it must happen. In that case, I'd just camp in the dispersed camping area along Icicle Creek and dayhike, but it's not the same.

I forgot to mention to go in on a day early midweek, like Tuesday.

Also, I hadn't considered this for folks living hundreds of miles away.
