Despite some rain and light snow Friday, the road to the trailhead remained relatively dry for Saturday. Trail through the forest had a small amount of snow in places, mud in others, but dry for the most part. Above treeline and towards the saddle the amount of snow increased but did not need any traction devices. Up to the summit the snow was still manageable, but care must be taken not to fall between the rocks on what may look like a solid patch of snow. A pair of trekking poles and some gaiters would be very helpful. I did not traverse to tabeguacge but my friend did. He said the snow became very deep in places (waist high) and it was overall a much more difficult journey to gain the summit of tabeguache.
