I've gone up to Horseshoe Meadow a couple of times in the past week...
Last Friday, the smoke was bad near Ridgecrest, but it was clear up north...
On the 12th there was relarively little smoke anywhere...just a little bit hazy...

BTW, Army Pass still has snow down to the trail, but it doe not cover it, so the Pass is a walk-up now...other than having to deal with some large rockfall just below the top...New Army Pass was dry...
