I summited from the west ridge today. The summit is very snow covered but it was largely packed. I would expect that you would experience some epic postholing below treeline, so snowshoes would be advisable unless you plan to be down real early.

I climbed the East Ridge last Sunday, and skied the Cristo Couloir. It was in great shape. Best to be early as it was softening up quite quickly.
Folks I saw used.
Snow shoes
Skinned up on tel/AT skis
Yac-trax
Boot pack all the way.
The snow was very well packed from the treeline with very little snow below treeline.
