How I would love to be there right now !!
Dave.
Although they only started plowing a couple of days ago the plow crews are already at Porcupine Flat and just look at how little snow there is and how watery it looks from a photo taken today.

The Olmstead Point avalanche zone should slow things up, but they are already only about 5 miles away from that point and already half way to the east entry gate from Crane Flat ! There is also high winds forecast and some percipitation on the high ground, but I'm still thinking this is gonna be an April opening.
Dave.
From Caltrans:
This tells me that it's open from Lee Vining to the east entrance kiosk already.Quote:
SR 120
[IN THE CENTRAL CALIFORNIA AREA & SIERRA NEVADA]
IS CLOSED FROM CRANE FLAT (TUOLUMNE CO) TO THE TUOLUMNE/MONO CO LINE
/TIOGA PASS/ - FOR THE WINTER - MOTORISTS ARE ADVISED TO USE AN ALTERNATE ROUTE
It also looks like the road to Bodie is open.
Yes the road up to the entry station is open and clear and from what I can make out, it's pretty clear for quite a way into the park, although there was a light rock fall across the road recently.
I read somewhere that the road to Bodie opened on the 15th April
There are murmours that Sonora [108] will open today, but as yet that hasn't been confirmed on Caltrans.
Dave.
Sonora Pass [108] has been confirmed as open but always check for the latest updates before travelling.

I love the waterfalls on the western slope at the top of Sonora Pass when it opens, but I've never seen an opening this early!
Look at the gorgeous waterfall captured a few moments ago -- Yosemite Falls!
