The road is closed. The road up to Whitney Portal is Closed. The road is closed, maybe they forgot to take the 5 signs down and the chains across the road and the loader parked in the middle of the road is normal, but I would think maybe the road is closed. Just got down earlier today. The road is open. The sign and chains across the road has been moved aside. The road will stay opened until it is closed. Now the much more important question... when can we get burgers at the store? Kurt Wedberg info@sierramountaineering.com http://www.sierramountaineering.com

Here I am doing my part to see that it happens a little sooner: Photos: http://piotrowski.smugmug.com SpotCasting: https://maps.findmespot.com/s/9DDZ#history/assets

Still some snow on the road and I would watch for ice the next few days in the shaded areas past the campground. We are moving into the store and should start cooking on the 7 th of May. Thanks Doug
