Bee,
We went in mid-May 2007. By 2 PM shadows were starting to creep down the slope. Since the temperature were in the 30 to 40* F range we down climbed...face in, to where the slope was bathed in sun, then glissaded the rest of the way down. We played it safe at the top...this being our first glissade of this length.
Conditions and your skill set determine what can do in any situation.
I have witnessed people descending being stopped dead in their tracks at the cables. They did not move for the forty minutes we were at Trail Camp. That area in the winter is the no fun zone both ascending and descending.
