Classic Eastern Sierra backcountry ski day on 2nd day of our trip. We heard a rumor that the Tioga Pass Road had just opened to 5 miles west of the pass, but the Cal Trans site didn't show an update. So we just decided to risk it and found that the road is now open all the way up to the pass. We skinned up Glacier Canyon (incredibly hot) and booted up the Dana Couloir, then skinned up to the summit. The ski down the Dana Couloir was one of the best I've experienced. Wind-buffed chalky snow giving way to corn at the base. 9 miles, 3400 vert. Amazing day.
