Just want to add that if you go to that last link I provided, you will see this:

http://mkwc.ifa.hawaii.edu/current/road-conditions/

"This announcement is primarily used to inform the public about road closures. Road closures typically occur during winter months due to ice or snow on the road and occasionally for high wind situations."

Bolding is mine.

I am really angry about the misinformation being posted on TA. Destination Experts my foot. The observatories pay for the MKWC and as a public service they post the status of the road so that the public can visit - whenever they want if conditions allow. The observatories don't own the summit road although do pay for its upkeep, but this misinformation is damaging to the observatories and the tourist industry. I think I will have to bring this up with the other observatories and MKSS.
