This seemed like a handy way to estimate that I hadn't noticed, before:
http://www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/tiogaopen.htm

1995 had an identical 178% of usual snowpack and opened on June 30th (Friday before July 4th weekend). I'd guess the exact same date this year.

Dang, I think I was the only one who knew about that page. Now you've filled everyone in on my secret. :wink:

Though I know Sonora pass typically opens a couple of weeks before Tioga, is there anyone who has actual news as to how far along Caltrans is with clearing 108?

Spoke to a guy who went over Carson Pass a few days ago and said the snow walls by the road were something like 9 ft high if that's any indication.

Just posted this on the other thread. Caltrans will keep the lower gate closed until 120 is finished. Current estimate is June 30.
