If you have never done the Tahoma Creek trail you probably shouldn't. About a quarter of the trail is missing and there are hazardous areas. But if you are good with navigation and off trail hiking it is very doable. Definitely no kids.
That said, once you reach the Wonderland Trail the trail is in great shape. At about 1/4 mile from Emerald pass you will hit snow almost the entire way to the switchbacks just below the pass. This snow is deep and will be there for some time.
