Since I did this loop 2 weeks earlier, a lot of snow below 1000' has melted, but above that, conditions are snowy and sometimes icy. Microspikes definitely are advised.
We did a counter-clockwise loop over West Tiger 2 and West Tiger 1, using the K-3 trail on the way up, and descending via the Preston Junction and Fred's Corner. The weather forecast had called for a sunny but windy day; we had plenty of sun, but there were only a few brief periods of moderate wind. So, all in all, quite a pleasant day, with a nice stop for lunch with views near the Hiker's Hut on WT 1.
