tioga looked better than i thought yesterday (more snow that i would have thought).
there were rain squalls throughout the sierra yesterday, including at higher altitude.
there were at least 2 big loaders working on saddlebag lake rd yesterday. i'm not sure if they were plowing or doing something else.
whoa nelli deli ain't open yet. hopefully, it will be better than last year (big let down).
there was a large slide cycle between the last storm cycle and now in the bishop area and several of the trade routes are full of debris. the snow line is also very high on many of those descents.Last edited by thornton; 19 April 2014, 11:04 PM.

If the Park Service says it, it must be true:
The Tioga Road in Yosemite National Park will open for the season tomorrow, Friday, May 2, 2014, at noon for all vehicular traffic. . . . .
Due to a light snowpack this past winter (approximately 30% of normal), the Tioga Road was cleared of snow early into the season. Snow and icy conditions may still exist on hiking trails at the higher elevations. Visitors are urged to be prepared for snowy conditions and possible treacherous stream crossings while hiking the backcountry in the early season.
All campgrounds along the Tioga Road are closed. All commercial services, including the gas station, store, and village grill, are also closed. There are no anticipated opening dates for any of these facilities.Last edited by fogey; 1 May 2014, 07:39 PM.

No Name was well covered and sheltered from the high winds over the weekend.
More high winds on Tioga but great corn in the valley.
Couple of split boarders reported Saddle Bag road is plowed to the dam but the road is blocked... even for those with a key.
