Bodie is technically open year around. The only access in winter is via snowmobile, cross country skiis, or snowshoes.
I've skiied into Bodie on one occassion, snowmobiled on two. It's a wonderful experience in winter if you're up to it. Back during the last El Ni�o in 1983, I actually skiied onto the schoolhouse roof, only it and a few other landmarks protruded from the snow.
Otherwise, the road should be open any time now. Contact CalTrans for road updates. They have a website with up to the minute road conditions. The state highway running into Bodie is California Highway 270.
