Late start from Paradise at 930AM probably made little difference, overnight temps bottomed out at 50 degrees.  Fortunately there was a cool breeze, and skiing was 1-3" slush down to 8000' on SE and S facing slopes, then deep slush the rest of the way on SE to SW aspects down to 5400'.   
all snow is good snow (and all skis are rock skis) but it was 55 F at P at 5 a.m. today and I think I'll skip skiing and go biking :-)
