But next Friday, May 4 looks like a pretty solid bet.

Interesting new photo up from plowing at Tenaya Lake. No snow at all on the south facing granite slopes above the lake:

Also open for bikes from tomorrow (Sat April 28). Still betting on next week for the full opening.

Looks like confirmation that Tioga Road will open Thursday or (more likely?) Friday, Sonora Pass scheduled for Friday too:

This looks like the earliest in 25 years. The
plowing website says it opened on 2 May in 1987. The next nearest date is May 11, 2007. I've got a friend from out here in the east who is contemplating the Rae Lakes Loop in June; he might actually be able to do it!
