What May feels like
This is the deepest part of off-season, and the trails you actually want are still buried or running like creeks. The Pass usually reopens around Memorial Day weekend and that's the moment the valley wakes up; before that it's rain gear and a short list of open kitchens.
Winter is doing its thing: 7.0 in of snow in a typical May, with fresh snow on about 3 days. about 11 nights dip below freezing.
