We are planning the same trip tomorrow, and arguing about snowshoes. We definately needed them last year at this time.

Traditionally, snowshoes are needed this particular weekend every year on this particular trail YMMV

Typically the upper sections of mountain trails are icy and packed down through most of May, if the trail was used during the winter months. Instep crampons or micro-spikes will probably be more useful. If going off trail, that's when snowshoes would be needed.
