Years ago (2010?) when there was a lot of snow and Alta Alpina couldn't go all the way to the end of Blue Lakes Rd (one of the 8 "passes" is an out and back on the road), they substituted Airport Rd right across from Turtle Rock. That wouldn't make anywhere near the mileage/climbing equivalent of losing both sides of Ebbetts though ... the only practical replacement would likely be repeating most of Monitor.
