Plowing for Thompson Pass starts this week, goal still seems to be around Easter holiday.

The MDT website updated the day it opened last year, if you follow that.

Let us know how it is, was dust on crust at Burke yesterday. I may head up to the pass tomorrow or Saturday.

From yesterday (HUGE thanks to the Public Works Department at Shoshone County):
Great News! Thompson Pass is officially open. Please travel with care – we received another 2” of snow on Thompson Pass last night and more on the way tonight.
