Hi ya'll.  any road/access updates for fresno dome, shuteye and balls?

Mike - I sent you an email yesterday too.

Haven’t been to Fresno Dome yet this year. You will definitely be able to get to the trail parking for Hawk Dome. It is on the outside (right) of a Uturn just past FD camp ground. There is usually a large drift blocking the road higher up as it leaves the creeks edge. With the low snow it might be passable. If not, fall back and just hike from the Uturn.

SNF website says road is open to Fresno Dome.  I'm guessing it is maybe still snowed in beyond. 

It also said 6S10X (willow creek wall road) is closed because of downed trees.

I think this makes it problematic to get from Fresno Dome to Beasore Road from both 6S10X and 6S10.  Hmmm,  Guess I'll have to pick one area or be willing to drive down to bass lake.

I've been climbing at Fresno Dome. I tend to use the lower approach, the road is all clear to there at least. I think it's clear to the top as well. There was zero snow up there

Morning all, Sunday got to the Jones Store the long way from Minarets Rd, today going to check out CSS to see if the snow is gone, was on Beasore Rd a week ago and got a 1/4 mile from CSS in my Suby, checked out Chiquito Dome parking area and the Hawk Dome parking area last weekend and both places were a zoo of cars there, so been hanging out at the Balls, happy climbing Mike A.

Lots of people up at Big Sleep area as well over the past week
SoYo and Shuteye are going to be seeing a lot of action so long as Yosemite and the the eastside remain closed!

[mike a]

Morning all, was up at CSS yesterday still a little snow blocking the road down the hill on the east side of CSS. Bearsore Rd looks good they cleaned up all the trees off the road. The snow should be gone in a week and CSS will be free of snow, happy climbing Mike A.

[John]

The trees on Minarets are almost all cleared by who I assume is the forest service. They even started down Little Jackass.

[looks easy from here]

Sonora Pass opened this morning. Maybe some of the crowds will head to the other side of the mountains.

Have the mosquitoes started to wake up at any of the higher elevations yet?

[Gerard(Jerry)Jessurun]

Is Cold Springs Summit open yet?

Hi.

Skeet report:We’ve only been to 8k a couple weeks ago and skeets not bad at all. Lately at 6k and so far fine.

I heard CSS is open but haven’t been thru that way to be sure.
