The National Parks Service usually have the road open from Memorial Day, the
last Monday in May, so it seems you'd be a bit early. Visit www.nps.gov for
park info.

Drove this road in September 1999, quite a spectacular trip

This has not been a good snow year in general. Who knows? This pdf is a
kick.

The goal every year is to have the road open by Memorial Day weekend
(May 28).
This year, snowfall has been so light that I'm betting that the road
will be clear before that date although May 3-7 might be a bit too
early.
