Sky Ranch Road is open and in pretty good shape to the upper fresno Dome parking but I don't know how far beyond that. Just a little snow on the trail to Fresno Dome but no snow at all anywhere on or around the dome.

Susan,
Do you have any idea if Beasore is open to Bowler Campground?

Hi Aaron, I would be surprised if there's too much snow there anymore given this year's conditions. Just checked the road report and there is an update for May 3 that says: Open - Beasore (FR 7) from Bass Lake (5S07).

I drove over Cold Springs Summit a few days ago and what little snow there was had been plowed but I didn't go all the way to Jones Store. The road is also open and in good shape from Cold Springs to Sky Ranch Road. Still snow on the road to Chilkoot Lake so to climb in that area you park at the rest area but snow going fast and people pushing on it.

We also drove by the Jones Store and saw some activity there, so they should be opening up anytime now. It's a great little place, though they may not always have what you want, they may have what you need... :)
