Storm of the century Mammoth Lakes 2023 (part 1)

We are trapped in Mammoth HWY395 is closed, gas stations are out of fuel, grocery store is low on supplies. It’s insane follow as we deal with equipment failures and just the over all craziness of snow removal during this once in a blue moon storm cycle.

Saddie and Bud sure have a great life!

[@johnneitzel49]

I don't know why I like watching you move snow.....but I love your videos!!!

[@RoryMitchell00]

This constant fight to keep up with the heavy snow accumulation has got to be wearing mentally. I just wanted to take a moment and send a big "thumbs up" to everyone in Mammoth who is keeping up their spirits and working every day to keep things moving in this difficult time. It's got to be hard to maintain focus and not feel down with all these challenges being thrown at you. It takes a special kind of person to rise up when the going gets tough, and you and your team are demonstrating that kind of remarkable quality in spades.

[@MB12116]

You move to mammoth for skiing and except snow…I’m sure he would be depressed if he received 3 inches of snow total this year. At least that my perspective from someone in Tahoe with similar if not the same snow conditions.

[@rockymountainwoman2618]

I won't complain or bitch about the snow and cold in Montana. Hope the weather pattern changes soon for mammoth.

[@MB12116]

[@yxngbt387]

I’ve never seen so much snow. Respect to you guys and what you do because no way mammoth would be functional without your guys’ work

Your videos are so incredible to watch!!! They are historical footage of this winter of 2023!!!

I live in Running Springs, half way between Big Bear Lake & Lake Arrowhead. We, from one end of the mountain to other, were out of fuel and food by Saturday. All the roads were shut down by Friday night. Over the weekend they did an “emergency convoy” for food/supplies and fuel. With Caltrans escorting and cleaning along the way. You know how it works. Storm of the century is kicking our asses! But, us mountain folks can and will survive this! As a Caregiver, I have seniors from one side of the mountain to other. But, clearly that isn’t happening right now. Hoping for sunshine and some warmth sooner rather than later. Trapped at my home like most locals. My seniors are okay, thankfully! Enjoy watching your mountain living posts! Love those pups! Keep up the excellent cleaning work, you can sleep when spring arrives!

Things are going to get very very bad. Now is a good time to believe in Jesus. I know from personal experience that Jesus is real. He brings immense joy and love and a much different understanding of things. April 9, 2021, my vision went black for a quick moment. I saw in gold letters: Thus saith the Lord. About four hours later, April 10, in my sleep I heard: Prophet. Tell them I am coming soon. 3-5 min later, at 1235 AM, our area had a 3.1 eq. Oct 26, 2020, I heard - Biden Harris July 31,2021 I heard - Stay in the Word. Aug 1, 2021, I heard - Do not fear what is coming. Aug 9, 2021 - Surge. Isolate. In 2019, I heard - famine and plague. Jan 26, 2021. Heard - War is coming Shawna. Better prepare. Prophesy. Jesus gives the best love ANYWHERE! If you want to accept Jesus, admit you are a sinner (we all are), believe in Jesus and that He came in the flesh and that He died for you (well worth it), call out to Him to save you. Just say - Dear Lord Jesus, come into my heart, forgive me for my sins. I believe. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, He gave His only begotten Son so that whomsoever believes in Him may not perish but may have everlasting life.

[@gobbletegook]

The no gas and no food at the grocery stores has got to make you cringe up there. And for those people who will not be able to see out of the first floor windows for the next 6 weeks, that too has to be mind numbing. Give the puppers some extra treato's...they have been playing hard!

[@cb2000a]

With the snow coming they will be lucky to see out of the second story windows.

stay safe! that storm looks brutal. Keep up the great content!

[@briane173]

Mammoth Mountain webcams were insane yesterday. Total whiteout, 60-70 mph winds across the trails, entire mountain was closed. 7 FEET in 36 hours. I haven't seen this much snow up there in 54 years.

[@mnmcards5251]

Wow, amazing, looks like the snow will be on the ground till June 😱 love the dogs, beautiful 👍

[@genegemignani8858]

First of all, there is no such thing as too much snow. Grew up in northern Illinois and moved to northwest Montana in 1972. Luv snow. Your videos are great. What an adventure. And it's all so beautiful. The equipment breakdowns have to be frustrating though. But you handle the complexities of the job well. The meals you prepare for your crew look delicious. If you ever get out of the business your in you probably wouldn't have much trouble getting a job as a chef. And the dogs add a lot of fun and color to your videos. Keep em coming!

[@James_P60]

Don't envy you guys at all. Keep up the good work. we are getting our fare share of snow in central Minnesota, but nothing like you are getting.

[@maitogai1995]

3:40. Oh, many years ago the Mammoth PD to a couple retired almost 80 year olds on sleds parked at Vons during an epic dump town shutdown. "You can't ride those on the roads" Old Folks. "What roads?" Starts sleds and rides away.

[@plowbrothers365]

Awesome! Lots of people been riding sleds around.

[@briane173]

I am _stunned_ at the amount of snowfall there this winter. Last time I seen it that bad was in 1969. As of this morning Canyon Lodge is running only one lift; Chair 6 at Main, the snow is almost up to the chairs themselves, if it was running you could ride up with your skis touching the snow. Insane. And it's not over by a long shot. My hope is that they'll at least open 395 to heavy equipment and freight so that businesses in Mammoth Lakes can replenish. They're having a terrible time in the San Bernardino Mountains because of the same issue and residents are frustrated as hell. No gas, grocery stores empty, people can't even dig out of their own houses let alone drive down the hill to get gas and groceries. Grapevine is closed _again_ due to heavy snow and freezing rain.l

[@shawnalLovesJesus]

It's that freezing rain that be a big problem.

[@joewhite2809]

I plow snow do here in Connecticut but hope we never see that much here , keep up the great work guys from us down here at CT DOT wish you guys the best

[@bubhub64]

I remember going to Mammoth from Los Angeles on ski trips in the 70s when Mammoth on several occasions would have a 20' to 25' snow base. As soon as you entered the Palmdale, Lancaster area on your way to Mammoth on Hwy 14, it would be a winter wonderland of white snow all the rest of the way to Mammoth. White snow from Palmdale to Mojave, Mojave to Bishop, Bishop to Mammoth, nothing but a white snowscape. Nothing new that hasn't happened before. Lol, everybody from the news to blogs makes it sound like this is some kind of unatural phenomenon that's never happened before. C'mon people. On many ski trips to Mammoth we had to dig out the car when covered with snow. Nothing new.

[@moomoo3031]

Flooding up there may not the be problem it could be in the Central Valley. Sounds kinda cruel but the Valley could _use_ some flooding in order to recharge aquifers there. Groundwater is in VERY short supply and that's where agriculture gets the bulk of their water in the summer.
