The Whitney Portal Road is now "soft closed" -- that is the locked gate is open, but the Road Closed sign is up. That leaves it up to the driver to decide whether or not to pass the sign. If you do go, you are taking on all the risk -- it gets expensive if your car gets stuck up there. If any new snow falls, or fresh rockfall appears, it could be many days before it is removed.
However, current reports show that you can drive up to the snow line -- almost to Whitney Portal.
Here's a picture from Egor G on Facebook, posted April 3, showing cars parked along the road near Whitney Portal:
