Zoji La open in 32 days, does that change how we plan Ladakh runs?

Caught the Moto365 story on Zoji La's winter shutdown shrinking from months to 32 days: /p/how-zoji-las-winter-shutdown-shrank-from-6-months-to-32-days

Went and checked it against the news too. Tribune and Construction World both confirm BRO got it cleared in that window this year, against a pass that used to stay shut for months on end.

For us in the Tribe this is big. A shorter closure means more weeks where a Thar with proper ATs and a winter kit can actually attempt Leh without waiting for the full summer rush. But faster clearance also means BRO machinery is grinding through unstable snow more aggressively, and that can mean looser rock and slush right after opening.

Would you push an early Ladakh run the week it opens, or still let the road settle a bit first?
