Per Yosemite NP (April 30, 2025): Road Crews safely plowed through the Olmsted avalanche zone and have reached Tuolumne Meadows (about 34 miles of road cleared).

That timing is unheard of! I wonder what made them punch through so fast.

I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.
