## Discrepancy

UPON DEPARTURE DURING HEAVY SNOW CONDITIONS WITH GRAVEL SKI EQUIPPED AIRCRAFT THE NOSE GEAR UNLOCK LIGHT REMAINED ON AFTER LANDING GEAR RETRACTION.  LANDING GEAR EXTENDED AND AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO DEPARTURE AIRPORT WITH NORMAL LANDING.  UPON INSPECTION FOUND GRAVEL DEFLECTOR TO BE CONTAMINATED WITH SNOW AND ICE.  REMOVED SNOW AND ICE, JACKED AIRCRAFT AND SWUNG GEAR WITH NO DEFECTS NOTED.  VERY HEAVY SNOW CONDITIONS ALLOWED FOR SNOW BUILD UP ON DEFLECTOR DURING TAXI OUT.  DEFLECTOR WAS DEICED PRIOR TO TAXI.
