cbcbd,

While Lion's Head is the preferred route & has far less avalanche danger than the headwalls, it does have some exposure. It's probably a good idea to avoid the trail if the avalanche conditions are extreme.

Oak22, you sound like you probably know your gear pretty well as an ice climber, knowing the terrain would be a big help though, the amount of time & space above treeline is much more than anything in Greens. Dave suggestions on shake down trips are good choices. Going up Lion's Head will mean you will have company unless you are going mid-week on a bad day. Bad days of course are best avoided
