Sonora Pass on a deep year…

Caltrans has announced that 9,943′ Tioga Pass & 9,623′ Sonora Pass have both closed due to snow on the ground and more snow in the forecast.

They haven’t yet announced that these passes are closed for the season and given the relatively mellow forecast we’re guessing they’ll open back up before their final closing for the season.

Tioga & Sonora passes have some of the best backcountry skiing in North America in the springtime.
