I do structural steel and when they build these places the engineers look at wind loads along with snow loads and i suspect houses are built around these factors also

​@@markmccauley8170Depending on how compacted it is, snow has a mass of 50 to 200kg per cubic metre. It's hard to tell exactly how big that is but based on the size of it compared to the people, I'd say it easily weighs a ton, probably a bit more.

Had so much fun 🏂🤙🏼 broke the record 2nd highest level of snow ever documented in Tahoe since the 1950s we got over 700” (inches) 58-60feet!! Shoveling roofs mid to late winter was a major payout. As locals were paying eachother/friends of mine with the proper climbing gear etc. to remove snow from caving in roofs and to prevent any more. They were paying over $100 an hour at points for immediate help. We made it through and had a blast! 🤙🏼👍🏼

So sad for you...losing part of your home😢😢😢 It was just like that last winter, Feb & March in Southern CA San Bernardino Mountains. My heart truly goes out to you... many of them are still recuperating from that, including our vehicles (my repairs ammounted to roughly just over $6000) were severely damaged due to the extreme amounts of snow! Twenty foot snow burns everywhere, houses exploding and burning to the ground, trees lost about 2/3 of their growth, massive branches falling off the trees and damaging cars, roads destroyed, no food availability for roughly 2 months, boulders still falling off thee mountain due to damage to the soil, etc. The worst part about our weather back then, it has been proven somebody seeded the clouds left & right, top to bottom...obviously not the government, but a private enterprise) and all the snow got dumped on our mountain region only! . I would be willing to bet it was just the same group that placed fake ballot containers during the last Presidential Election, the same ones that tried to burn down our entire state, the same ones that cancelled forestry protection for 4 years, and thinks it's so funny that our massive Pine Trees exploded when any kind of fire gets near the tree. By the way, the same group that refused to send vaccines (COVID related) for our essential workers and 20 people were buried alive in the midst of the snowstorm. I would guess that would be Donald Trump... I think so 😮💔 His actions killed my mother. He is definitely at the top of my list... and you know which one!!!

It’s never too deep. The lifts get buried and working personnel is limited when the roads get closed. Kt22 kept spinning at squaw valley the entire season. Upper mnt lifts had to be unburied and would open 1-2 days after a storm stopped.
