Doesn't really make sense if your goals are WFG and Casaval -- they both top out at the same place around 13k' and then you have to slog up Misery Hill both times. Well, it makes sense if you want to do Misery Hill twice
Here's a different idea -- camp in Hidden Valley, then take the spur that leads up to Casaval, do the ridge, summit, then descend WFG back to camp (you're a skier, right ?) Voila
It's not like you live in socal and have to drive 9-10 hours to get there. I live in San Jose and it's just a half-day drive. I just start driving at 5am, get my wilderness permit by mid-morning, and start snowshoeing. Get up to high camp in the afternoon. Alpine start next morning, done in the afternoon.
