Yosemite Cabin Information - cross post

Where can we get up-to-the-minute info. Chains required November thru April is a predictive statement made in October that may not match reality in April.

In the other thread, it was mentioned that the snow level is now at 6,000 feet. I'm not sure any of the roads we'll travel are that high.

How do we find out for sure 'bout chains? Chains of Love. I mean, er, car chains.

I'm renting the wheels, as far as I know, they do not provide chains. Crap, I guess I gotta find some when I'm in Fairfield heading to JB factory.

Rental car companies will NOT provide chains (I learned this standing in the endless line to pick up my car in Reno a few months ago when it was actually snowing outside).

The restriction is must carry chains, not necessarily use them. And if you have the choice get cables they're lighter and easier to put on should you need to, which you probably won't.

And check your owners manual. My new car has restricitons that you must only use cables and there are two tire sizes where you can't use cables or chains at all.

Disneyphile - do you know anyone with a pair of chains you can borrow?
