CO Native's report from January 11 remains valid.

I will add the observation that while snowshoes are not absolutely necessary, some of the slabs above timberline are slick in places and unsupportive in others. There is enough trail braiding above timberline that you can easily find yourself in terrain on the way down where snowshoes are appreciated. I know that I'm glad that I brought mine.
