We did this trip as a part of our climb to Mount Shuksan via Sulphide Glacier. Shannon Ridge had patches of snow, but you could get away without any traction device. However, the snow field started at around 5,000 feet or so (just a little past Shannon Ridge). From that point forward, We put on our mountaineering boots and got out our ice axes.
The trail leading to Shannon Ridge was in decent conditions. There were a couple of down logs, and certain sections could use some drainage improvements.
Bugs were bad. Bring bug spray/net
