Tioga Pass Prognosticator #5

Well, I'll give a shot for 2 years in a row and go with Friday, May 30th.

I'm not doing any major roadtripping until the Fall, so I don't have a personal agenda to see the road open so early this time.

Since I plan on driving the pass on May 16th, that's the date I'll go with ;-)

My guess will be June 2, 2008

I think the pass will open on May 24th so it will be passable for Memorial Day weekend and the hordes of "trippers" that are so antsy to be out and about.

Can we get so specific as to suggest a time? 10:30 am on May 23rd.

If that is not possible, how about May 22nd since nobody has chosen that.

By the way, your forum made tripadvisor.com today, you might well see more votes coming in.

Nice site, I can't wait to get out on a "see America" trip via RV, but that is still a few years away.

June 5.

There's a lot of snow left. I've been there when they didn't open until July!

i heard they started plowing monday but looks like a big job ahead
3.7 miles in a day. theres a short vid in the link that shows what there up against.
WOW! what a job,although tough i think i'd be in my element up there!!!

Um.... This is the national park service you are referring to -- Last year, we tried to make it more specific -- but the NPS was reluctant to provide that level of data.... Thanks for the notice about Trip Advisor. Have you looked at the Tioga Gate cam today? Lots of snow covering the lens! It was clear and sunny a few days ago....

Kirby, there is fresh snow up there this week....

(NPS: I believe this is from the 2006 plowing effort)
