I was also up there on Saturday. Started around 6:00 and summited a little after 8:00 so the snow was still in pretty good shape. Never got out the crampons or ice axe, but trekking poles were handy. The snow below about 9000' was total slush by 9:00am. I pretty much followed the boot packed trail up the left side of the bowl so there wasn't much exposure.
