Probably a fun trip -- if you're an experienced snow traveler. I myself am a little afraid of some of the steep chutes on The Traverse. I may wait until spring when things clear up and the route is snow/ice free. Are you a pretty experienced winter traveler?

I would be interested in the cactus to clouds trail, I don't believe it is a technical trail, but I have never done this, so I really don't know. It is getting colder and no doubt weather is a factor.

There's going to be a lot of snow on it right now. You'd need to be prepared for extensive snow travel.

Here's a recent photo of the trail:
