Summited first week of Jan 2019; snow drifts 4 feet deep. We chose snowshoes instead of skis and were happy as there were many downed trees to step over. We prepared for the worst as far as conditions go and were successful because of our planning. Wood supply was lower than normal due to gubbament shutdown so we used sparingly. Once above treeline, if in a snowstorm, expect to fight gale force winds on your way to the top. If you make it this far, DO NOT STOP! You are too close to turnaround. We followed the route I had preset via GPS as above treeline, the trail markers (Orange whip markers) are hard to see/ far and few between. We stayed two nights, thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, and will definitely return in a few years.
