Went up to the Tram today for about an hour and there is ample snow in Long Valley. I didn't have much time so I only hiked around Long Valley but there is about a foot of snow there. From past experience I'd imagine that there's at least twice that much at Round Valley and three times that amount or more higher on the mountain.

The wind was cranking up there and by the time I hiked back to the Tram my footprints were completely filled in. I'll have some pictures and maybe some video up on my blog later.

Thanks for the snow report - I was trying to find that info on the tram website today.

Tuesday morning and the snow level is down to about 3,000ft mark. The upper elevations look like they got hit pretty hard. Anyone driving in from the west could report on how the north face got treated.
