Went to experience the ice this weekend (14th & 15th). So cool!! I think I'm gonna buy ice skates now just in case this ever occurs again. The entire time I wished I had a pair!

I'm pretty sure the pass is now closed. I just left the area.

Just thinking the Park could get some extra money with a "Tioga Pass Rally Car Time Trial Race". Ever wondered what it'd be like to zip past the Toulumne Store going 100mph to cheering crowds and not get a speeding ticket?
Watching such events seem to be popular in Euro. Mostly in anticipation of the crashes. Rollovers launching down the slabs at Olmstead would be quite the attraction.

Awesome, 1:34, safety guy comes running up on the scene with cig in mouth and coffee cup in hand.
A teachers aid in my EMT class had some stories about rally-like races BITD near Sonora, CA. Wonder if it was like this??
More on topic, the coming week or two of weather is certainly not going to speed up the Tioga Pass opener. But CA needs the water, so bring it.
