Not much snow until you get above 10,000 ft. but the trails are snow packed to icy lower in the shade. That's on the east side and the west side wouldn't be as packed and that's a good thing because the snow is shallow other than the occasional drift. It's easier to walk in some shallow snow than on the ice.
Snowshoes not needed unless we get a storm before you get here.
