Tioga Pass is closed today due to snow but I am unable to determine if this a temporary closure or the real deal. Does anyone know? It has already been closed a couple of times this season (snow) and re-opened.

I just checked and although the road is still blocked, officially it is still "open" Here is the official opening and closing dates for the past few years.
Checked on 11/20/06 and it is all the way open again today -- so no "winners" yet!

Tioga Pass is still open. If you are planning to drive it this week, be sure to check on the official California DOT report page here. Or you can call the hotline (this is a voice mail system -- takes a little while to get through the menu -- but the information is kept current): 209-372-0200
Thus far, Brad, Joel, Memetu and Findapath on still in the running for that tank of fuel...

Winter's blanket of snow has arrived in the Yosemite NP high country. Tioga Pass is officially closed. I haven't seen it on any NPS documentation, but the good folks at the Mono Lake Committee, who have monitored and provided this data for years have decreed that the Official Date was November 26, 2006 -- one day later than in 2005!

Since you were the closest, we will send you a RTA coffee mug if you send me your address and contact information...
Happy Holidays,
Update: 04-08-07 According to the official NPS site, it was closed on the 27th, but I know for sure that the gates were closed on the 26th....
