Doug from the Portal Store wrote today that a new gate has been installed and locked at the "Road Closed" sign on Whitney Portal Road. That is at least two miles below Whitney Portal.

So no more driving past the sign whenever the road is clear of snow. People had been doing that especially this winter due to lack of snow.

Update: Word is that the gate will be opened April 20.

Update 4/17: Just got word...
...the county expects to open the gate Friday afternoon, April 18.
