Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion A bird in hand worth: going for a walk in permit vs. 21 JUN

A bird in hand worth...going for a walk in permit...

Coming from Southeast US:

AirBnB in Mamoth booked for 10-18 JUL.
Lottery strategy failed for any of those dates - in good company.

HOWEVER, able to get 21 JUN permit when they were dumped to the masses...

Now what? Go for the 21 JUN (risk - snow) and rebook AirBnB for rest of the family?

Or, keep the AirBnB in Mamoth and try for walk in with the currently reserved dates?

Thanks for any advice and or recommendations.
