To take this one step farther, I was there the same year beginning July 1. 
Red's Meadow was open, but it was cold in the valley. We backpacked to 
Minaret Lake over the 4th. The upper elevations of the trail was snow 
covered; had to break the ice to get water from the lake. In the lower 
elevations, mosquitoes were "out in full force." To hike there without deet 
would have been suicide. 

I don't know if '96 was rated a high, or low, "snow year."

Someone will tell us.
