We hiked up on Saturday the 12th. The trail had a lot of ice on it, very sketchy coming down in the morning when everything was still frozen. We camped at the Trail Camp, 1/2 foot to a foot of snow in some places, we had to clear snow away to make our campsite. We decided to cut our losses and head back down Sunday Morning.
Everybody we met on the way up that had made it past the 99 switchbacks said that there are snow drifts around knee to hip high and that it made it extremely difficult to get to the top. We didn't meet anyone who had actually made it to the very top. I would definitely recommend crampons or micro spikes, gators, good waterproof boots and lots of cold weather gear, it was frigid towards the top.
