There was

more snow when we were there in July 1969 - actually the road was blocked by an avalanche just a short distance after the pass!

Re: There was

Must have been a heavy year. Were you coming from east or west and what did you do then?

Re: There was

We were coming from the east, and since the road was buried under six foot high snow for about 45 feet, we had to turn back, and crossed the Sierras at the height of Reno, past Lake Tahoe. It must have been a cool year, because we had just crossed Death Valley, where the temperature was only 70 degrees at noon - to the great disappointment of my parents-in-law!
