As forecasted, it is raining. If you still want to persevere, note that the summit is covered by drifting clouds; the current light rain is expected to become moderate; it will be windy at mid-levels upwards and it is much warmer today so the snow will not be that nice.

On the optimistic side, tonight the rain should turn into light snow going through tomorrow (with temperatures dropping to below zero) albeit we do not expect much of it and, with higher winds, we shall see how it settles.

Do be aware that next weekend will see the start of lift operations closing. This will be gradual however. Those details will be added tomorrow.
