Road crews have plowed nine miles from Crane Flat and are currently working in six to seven feet of snow. The first avalanche zone they plowed through will remain an avalanche zone for some time.
Snowpack is average this year, although snowpack is just one of many factors influencing when the road opens.

The roads crew has plowed 17 miles easterly from the Crane Flat gate and is currently working west of Yosemite Creek. Within the 17 miles, avalanche hazard is still present at South Fork Tuolumne River.
Snow has been somewhat soft—not nearly as icy as last year—and things are melting out. The avalanche team made it to Olmsted Point on Tuesday and things are beginning to melt at Olmsted Point, although avalanche hazard remains present at Olmsted Point and other avalanche zones.
Cooler temps and chance of light showers or snow is forecast for this weekend, and warmer temperatures next week.
Facilities management employees have not been able to access Tuolumne Meadows to conduct assessments and begin preparing utilities and other visitor services for use.
