Mike70, there is a huge storm coming across the state tonight through Wednesday. Whitney Portal road is likely closed 3 miles below Whitney Portal by now, and 6-12 inches of snow are predicted for Whitney Portal. NOAA forecasts higher elevations to get several feet of snow.
If you want to go to experience crazy winter conditions, you should take snow shoes and ski poles. But I would stay away, as this sort of heavy snow can be followed by some serious avalanche conditions along the trail. Winter conditions have finally arrived!
Here's the link to weather at
Whitney Portal, and at
the Whitney summit.
