Overall, the trail was in good condition. Near beginning of trail there is one large blowdown, but it's an easy walk-around.
Trail conditions were extremely mixed. There were sections that were completely free of snow and ice, whereas other segments were quite icy and Microspikes provided some reassuring traction.
The trailhead parking lot was plowed, but icy.
My BLOG(link below)has some photos from this hike.
