As per the MSHI Climbing report on 4/7/2025: (read the full report HERE)
Trail is intermittent snow free for the first 1.5 miles, then deep snow above. Ice axe and traction devices such as microspikes, crampons, and/or snowshoes are CRITICAL for the entire route.
The cornice is substantial and overhangs the rim 30+ feet and obscures views into the crater. STAY BACK at least 30 feet from the visible edge. Warning flags may not be present near the rim and there is no indication of the danger area underfoot.
Snow depth at 3,440 feet is 94 inches (7.8 feet). Snow depth at 4,440 feet is 178 inches (14.8 feet).
