Parked at the winter TH. There was a lot of snow going up to close to the end of treeline, but thankfully there was a really good path already. We took out skis off about 1200' from the summit. After that, it was easy to avoid snow and the trail was pretty obvious. While it was very windy when we were traveling through the valley around 10, by 11:30ish, there wasn't a lot of wind. We started at 6:10 am, summited around 1 pm, and were back to the car by 5 pm.
