Does anyone looking at this think the Ten Lakes Trailhead will be accessible between June 13 and June 24? From the photos and reports I've seen, it looks like snowshoes would be a good idea.... uh.... in June? Unbelievable that the snow pack is 175% (ish). Thanks for any insight or educated guesses.

Since estimates are that the road won't be open till the end of June, I'd say your chances are pretty low.
Snowshoes aren't generally useful on consolidated hardened snow. Not enough float. Crampons and poles would be more the thing.
