If you are an experienced Winter hiker and have a 20 below bag and a good tent, good warm boots and gators to keep the snow out of your boots, a trip to Conundrum is possible. Avalanches are a possibility, especially toward the afternoon. It is 9 miles from the trail head and 12 miles from Castle Creek road. A 4 wheel drive vehicle will be required to get to the trailhead this time of year. Front wheel drive with chains will also work. The trail starts at 9300 feet, so be prepared for high altitude hiking. Bring enough water or a purification system. and follow the rules. the Forest Service Rangers come up there often. If you get cold, you can always jump in the springs.
When is it safe to go on the trail? I read April-October, is that correct or is there more variation?

I have only been once, Labor Day weekend, and it was already getting light snow and sleet with passing storm clouds, though beautiful when the sun was out. Guessing that your dates are probably good considerations for extreme begin/end dates. Keep in mind the springs are at about 12,000 feet and the pass above them nearly 13,000 feet.
