Re: Good Snowshoe Routes?
Getting down to Agnew lake is fairly steep any way you go. Avalanche terrain almost all around, with the possible exception on the tramway route drown from the Gem lake dam. Frankly not somewhere I'd want to be any earlier than mid-April. By then the snowpack is usually more stable.

Usually closed at East Fork.Might try that weekend again but also looking at Mosquite Flat TH (East fork is where the road is closed) to Rock Creek TH (not sure where the road closure is here).

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.

Re: Good Snowshoe Routes?
No specific closure point, depends on the snow, if there is snow, that section will close, but may re-opened at a later date. Inyo County does not have a lot of plows, and Pine Creek Road does not get a lot of usage, so it would not be a priority, according to their office.Sorry I meant where is the closure on Pine Creek?
