Hey all, just a quick question. Is this hikable during the winter? A friend recommended it to me last summer but I haven't gotten around to trying it yet.....

You can hike TO the glacier in winter without issue. The lake is beautiful in winter but be prepared for very high winds.

If you want to climb the glacier itself then proper avalanche awareness training and equipment is a MUST. Otherwise, stay off it until summer.
