Well this is what Bishop looked like yesterday morning:

This picture was taken along the canal about a mile east of downtown. My fiancee and I went skiing literally out of her front door in Bishop. I'd guess the snow'll probably melt and things'll dry off within the week, but I could be wrong!

Really. I got to try out my new backcountry skis on my way down First Street.

I imagine there'll be something dry enough to climb by the time the road's open, but like I said, I could be wrong.

Does anyone know a way to bypass the road closure from Bridgeport to Lee Vining on the way to Bishop. Or has anyone heard when the road is scheduled to reopen? Thanks much.
