With the past cooler weather solidifying the top layer+ snow settling/blowing into the drainage snow is pretty deep, knee high for the most part. Very easy to punch through, can be a slog (recommend snowshoes/poles) but relatively easy for the first 1/2. The second 1/2 of the hike is mostly a 45° but its very hard if not impossible to see the trail/ground; its very steep snow and easy to slip and slide down (like a "U" shaped valley collecting all the snow deposits). A little unsettling to cross vast portions of snow like this since there is nothing to grab onto once you fall. This is why as per my recording I ventured to the right side (towards Mt. Rimwall). Topped out and traversed the false summit back to the trail for the last 2-300m what I saw was a massive deposit of inclined snow in the narrow portion with the high winds wisping more snow onto it. Honestly the hike is beautiful, there is a flock of big horned sheep living there so that's cool! I would recommend this hike but not with the amount of snow currently settled. On a high note I did get to Glissade down the snowy portion, with extra caution of course.
