Given the current amounts of snow, there's still likely to be lots in a month's time. It will depend a lot on the snow conditions at the time, which can change rapidly from day to day: you could really struggle in soft snow, or it could be firm and icy and fast going with crampons on. If you are up for 2 weeks, you'll be able to have a good idea what conditions are like from other walks.
