Does anybody know what conditions are like for snowshoeing off of whitney portal road in lone pine,onion valley rd in Independance,and hiway 168 going to lake sabrina?Basically i would like to know where the roads get blocked or closed off because of snow.Then i just park and snowshoe from there.Just simple snowshoeing.
Also does anybody know what conditions might be for the little lakes valley rd/mosquito flats?Is it ever clear all the way to mosqito flats in winter?Thanks

Onion Valley gets closed at Seven Pines, Bishop Creek at Habeggers (so fk) and Aspendel (m & n fks). Rock Creek at North Fork Campground (though after big storms it may be closed at Tom's Place) Rk Ck requires Snow Park Permit.

Hope that helps
