Summary

Three hikers completed Table, Peekamoose, and Lone on snowshoes in winter conditions with 6 inches of fresh powder and 20-22 inches of soft snow at higher elevations. From Table to Peekamoose the trail was packed down and firm, while the approach to Lone followed a boot-packed winter route that diverged significantly from standard maps to navigate cliff features. The interior was quiet despite snow-covered cars at the trailhead.

Three of us today. There were several cars in the Denning Parking Area covered with snow but we saw just one person in the interior all day. Several were walking in as we returned to the PA.
About 6" light powder had fallen overnight. At higher elevations, checking with my pole I'm finding consistently 20-22" of soft snow beside the trench.
We wore the snowshoes from the PA. We climbed Table first then Peek then Lone and returned via the Fisherman's path.
Trail wasn't broken out beyond the Leanto near Table up to the summit. Though someone had gone to the Leanto. We didn't explore out there.
From Table's summit to Peekamoose packed down and firm.
Over to Lone we followed a track that had been traversed by someone in boots (same for the return via the Fisherman's path). Underfoot the track did feel firm and seems to be the established winter route. One in our party had Alltrails and there were big deviations from that route. Most notabley going around (20 ft?) cliffs on the climb to Lone. Perhaps without snow you find a way to climb up through a weakness in these cliffs.
