Pictures forthcoming, but until then... there were only patches of snow to Half Moon Meadow, and no problem finding dry ground there. There was 100% coverage from the top of the switchbacks above Half Moon until the drop into Ten Lakes, although it was never more than a foot or so deep. The lower part of the switchbacks dropping into Ten Lakes looked dry, and there were definitely dry areas around the lakes, mostly to the north. All but the lowest (northernmost?) lake were at least partially ice covered. The north-facing slopes and cliffs south of the lakes were 100% covered with fairly thick snow.
We had a different destination in mind, and we passed several people who had turned back short of the lakes, but anyone familiar with snow travel and the correct trail route probably could have made it. On the other hand, we also saw several sets of footprints following our route, which wasn't toward the lakes, so don't blindly follow wherever the footprints lead...
