Wilson and Cucamonga Questions

Hi! We are new to the peaks and SUPER excited! We will be starting our journey on February 20th with Mt. Wilson. Then we would love to tackle Cucamonga on March 12th. I know we have more snow than normal, a great problem to have, but wonder how we can check the snow level as we get closer to that date. Is is safe to hike during snow? We have two kids 10 and 9, who are doing some of the peaks with us. Is this one they can do? Thanks for any and all thoughts! See you on the trail!
