Parked at the Blackpine Trailhead along Icicle Road just before the horse camp. Road was rough in places but not challenging in a 2WD sedan. Watch out for the transition between pavement and gravel, though.
The trail starts across the road from the trailhead and meanders a bit in a flatter area before turning up the ridge. Trail is mostly in great shape and easy to follow through the forest, with a few passable blowdowns here and there and some vegetation encroachment. It's a steep one, with a couple flatter sections and a lot of creaking trees.
Snow was intermittent at 5000' becoming fairly steady by 5500', but no routefinding issues. Snow was perfect for kicking steps straight up the ridge starting at 6000'. I didn't see any tracks in the snow beyond about 6200', so it was breaking trail until reaching the short bootpath/scramble that leads to the rocky summit of Bootjack Mountain.
From there, I worked my way over to the Blackjack Ridge summit by descending easy snow heading SE then traversing a snow slope before dropping to the saddle between the two peaks. Some melted-out ridge in the steepest section offered protection. Then it was a bit more step-kicking to the top.
Descent was the reverse of ascent. Totals were 7.5 miles and 4000' gain.
