Hard surface overall, great for microspikes but wouldn't have made sense with skis or snowshoes. The road had a couple completely bare spots, but even where it's covered its more of a soft ice than snow. Around the mountain was packed by foot traffic and snow mobiles, old carriage road running above around the mountain was lovely, but below it super icky with variable snow surface conditions below the junction. Davidge alternated between snow and ground pretty equally. North Overlook was well packed out, nature loop was variable snow but mostly hard and stable.
For the sake of recreation, my pick would've been around the mountain -> old carriage to summit -> auto road -> car.
I started from the ski tow and went right, which I think was a good call for me to grab all the trails in a way that made sense.
