Yes sir lots of new snow ! Gate opened a little before 10 am . Despite the new fluffy 10" gulleys and brush still are a bit of pain. Some places there was a honest 24" depth . Low vis ,light wind and snowing on and off. Skied Alta vista  to lodge , Bundys and West face Mazama with Bundys being the most skiable. Good adhesion of new snow to underlying layer.  No  issues

12" on paradise valley road unless  plowed again

Ran into a family of White Ptarmigans, Regine and Andy  and drove out the dreaded longmire gate at 453pm
