Arrived to Icehouse parking lot at sunrise so it was nice and empty. Trail had some ice with remaining snow near the saddle. Put on micro spikes and headed towards Ontario. The snow was still fairly deep, but frozen enough that I wasn't falling through. Near the ridge the wind really started to pick up adding a decent wind chill. At the peak had lunch on the western side out of the wind. Back at the saddle there were a lot of people so I took the upper Ice Canyon trail back down. A little further but much less people on the trail. Parking lot was a zoo around 2 pm. Good day for a good hike
