    By no means a local, but spent a week there in 2020 and two days in 2016.
    Generally it seemed Thomas Canyon in the Lamoille area held better terrain than the Right Fork.

    Made the mistake of bringing "fast and light" skis thinking we'd have good powder on most aspects.

    Mammoth Lakes Basin still gated at Twin Lakes, so a bit of an approach to the crest but not too long. Sherwins are another option.

    I think Virginia Lakes is still gated low. Lundy may be a decent bet. Easy access at Aspendell and Glacier, but don't overlook the Mammoth Lakes Basin - usually gets the most snow out of these small...

    McMurray Road good to 6200' just past Birch Creek. Blocked by a mud bog.
    High clearance vehicle helpful but probably not necessary.
    The road to Birch Creek TH is totally blown out.
