This strange year

As of now, both Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows ski resorts are planning to stay open on weekends at least until July 4th. To give you some indication of how it all might translate into other places in the Sierras, possibly including Yosemite, Squaw is saying they have a 20 foot base, and the highest points in both are less than 9000'.
I wouldn't do that to my skis, and I'm sure it would be hellish going in places, but I think that it warrants consideration for just about everyone when you realize that most of the good hiking trails in Yosemite don't even begin until 8500' and quickly go up substantially from there.
