Snowshoed from parking lot to summit in about an hour (at a good pace). Followed trail left by previous hikers, which was nice and packed down. Went into clouds about half way up. Visibility at top of Eyebrow Trail was low (could barely make out truck in parking lot below), wind was gusting to 50+. Trees and mountain provided good shelter from wind out of the west. Did some cliff-jumping on the way down...good deep powder for landings.
Crampons on snowshoes very helpful on steep sections. Dress in layers, since you will be removing some during climb. Waterproof pants, coat, gloves a must if you plan on having any fun in the snow.
