No doubt. Good news! Thank you! Trying to outguess the NPS service is fruitless. But park administration told me years and years ago, they WILL NOT open the East Entrance until "the proper infrastructure is in place". To thwart complaints from highway 395 businesses they leave the last several miles unplowed until park administration is ready. You should hear business owners in Lee Vining howl. Let's hope the NPS has a different outlook now. The majority of snow is from Ellery Lake west 20 miles. Eastward 6 miles because of the "rain shadow". The resort at Saddlebag Lake (Elevation 11,200 ft.) may or may not open at all this year.
