Tioga Rd (Hwy 120) Road Info
For the latest info, click the last page of this thread.
Anybody have a clue (or wild guess) when Tioga may open? Want to plan a trip to Gardinerville but don't know when.

The "new" anticipated date for road plowing to begin is now going to be May 1.
Usually, the Yos crew shoots for having the road open by Memorial Day. Quietly, folks are talking more like the middle of June instead.
The winter rangers at Tuolumne Meadows report over 7 feet of snow is still on the ground with a LOT of "to-the-ground avalanche" activity.
The road crews will normally hold back until the avy danger drops down to "low" - ESAC has the area rated "moderate" at the time.

I heard last night the they have evacuated the Tioga Pass Resort due to a high probability of avalanche activity in that area. I hope they are able to stay safe and undamaged.

They're still getting new snow! I can't imagine that they'll have the road open for Mem Day. I seem to recall that they barely got it open for July 4 last year?

One of fondest memories I have is of riding a motorcycle through Tioga Pass the day (or was it 2?) after they plowed it open. Very quiet and serene.
