Snow conditions? Best winter route?

[byore]

I am planning a San Jacinto hike on Sat (3/16). I don't have microspikes or crampons or anything, just regular old hiking shoes. What is the best route to take to avoid steepest (iciest) sections?

We're going up tomorrow with no micro spikes so we'll leave you a report tomorrow night. Considering the 100° weather here right now, I imagine the snow below the tram is going to be pretty thin if not gone.

Looking forward to your trip report from your journey tomorrow on Skyline. 4 of us are planning a trip up on the 22nd of March.

Been training for weeks now.......
