I wandered most of the way up Mt. Magaret today, stopping at the upper clearcut just below the summit ridge. I didn't go to the top because I've already been there and the view was great where I stopped for lunch.
Snow conditions were highly variable. In the morning, I used Yaktrax on an icy crust. On the way down, I used snowshoes after the sun had softened the surface.
It was a very quiet day on the mountain--no one else was up there though there are plenty of tracks mostly from snowmobiles.
I ignored the snowmobiled roads as much as possible, choosing a direct line up through the various clear-cuts where ever this was possible. No threat of avalanches today, though there were previous avalanches visible in many places.
NOTE: I originally intended to go up Keechelus Ridge from the Price Creek Sno-Park, but it has not been plowed-out yet.
