According to Mammoth Mountain Ski Resort's own RUclips channel years ago, they had 19 FEET OF SNOW IN JUST SEVEN DAYS. That was the winter of 2018-2019 that this same Resort's RUclips channel said they had 780 inches of seasonal snowfall. Skiing ended on August 6, 2019.
General aviation has been conducting airlift operations since yesterday and has been communicating since 2 days ago and will continue to airlift needed supplies up to the top of the mountain today and probably through the weekend of this rate
Wow! That is really amazing how that much snow fell in long time. But I'm glad that everyone is working hard to get everything back up and clearing ways for people to get out and move around.
LaNina prevents moisture from the South Pacific from migrating into the desert SW and Mexico. The jet stream is north in Washington and Oregon where it pulls moisture from the south pacific or other regions. The Drought and Snow floods will be more severe in the future.
@@LK-pc4sq yes I already know about LA niña and El niño. And I know what they do. You should have asked me first if I knew about them before rambling on.
@apres pooch I'm not taking it personally. I'm taking as that I know full well what these things are. I'm 46 years old and I have been through these kinds of things through my life. So quit with the assumptions before you make an ass out of U and ME.
Why??? You don't want Mammoth Mountain Ski Resort or any of the ski resorts in the Lake Tahoe area break Mt. Baker Ski Area's, Washington of 1140 INCHES OF SNOW in the winter 1998-1999???
Climate change. For now the warming is in record hit summer's mist places every year. For now. It's not record cold when snows alot anyway just cold enough
Apparently YOU didn't get the memo on what "global warming" is. What it is... A data driven scientific model predicting increases in both the frequency and severity of extreme weather events (much like what California is experiencing). What it is not... Earth Sauna 24/7! Unfortunately the term was quickly misinterpreted by intellectually challenged individuals struggling to simplify an incredibly complicated problem. In response there was an effort by scientists to reframe the issue as "human related climate change" but the damage was done. Now if it snows regardless of how abnormal or unprecedented... online morons can't wait to rattle off ignorant "global warming" tropes... 🌊❄🌀🔥🌪🤡👏
When so many place around the world is in drought, the water will still evaporate and fall somewhere else like surprise flood in Europe and Australia, heavy snow, climate is way of the earth to balance itself from temperature rise or fall.
Again what I stated on various news stations, outlets; this snowfall event may and the future may never top what happened on Lebanon's Mountains off of Eastern Mediterranean Sea in February, 2012. They got DUMPED!!! FORTY FEET OF SNOW IN JUST FIVE DAYS!!!! Just another example of Atmospheric Rivers and this situation traveling easterly across the Mediterranean Sea to Lebanon. The highest peak there is over 10,000 feet. This same thing happened to Alaska, Japan. the Cascades Mountains of Western Washington, and these Sierra Mountains. Google has pictures and the story of what happened in Lebanon that year.
I grew up in Lebanon and saw it snow 6 feet overnight. In the winter of 82 we got even more snow and the roads to the ski resort were closed for about three weeks until they could dig out.
@@TropicalHomesteading , like I said of go to Google for pictures. The road going to one resort is like driving through a Canyon. The closest I seen comparable to what happened in Lebanon is driving through avalanches after they happened. Colorado Department of Transportation(snowplowing, avalanche debris removal, and road repair responsibility) clears these mountain back country 4x4 roads in late spring into summer months. This is to bring in tourist dollars to this area of Southwestern Colorado. There maybe other areas of this state that this done but I'm sure of that. On RUclips there's videos of people driving 4x4 vehicles like Jeeps through these avalanches that took place on Animas Forks Road leading to Animas Forks Ghost Town. Back in the 1880's there was much as 3,000 people living there at Animas Forks Town. This was a gold mining town from about 1870 to 1910. It's at 11,000 feet. Back in those days it most definitely got to -30 degrees below zero or more in winter at that elevation. There was another one I found out, Corkscrew Clutch Spring 2019 avalanche(s) on RUclips. The highway department was reported that they cleared all these back country mountain roads by early July that year. A guy put on RUclips a video he filmed coming from north of a big avalanche there and going through it. This was late August that year. He may have filmed it from early July up near he posted it on RUclips. I don't know. Anyway because this was a very exceptional snowy winter 2018-2019 the snow had all melted away in hills to the left. Yet this avalanche had a wall of 40-45 feet high of avalanche debris. That same winter, a avalanche came down and BURIED the train tracks of the Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad tracks of 120 FEET DEEP of avalanche debris!!!!
many people dont understand how worthless a dump truck with a plow is when dealing with walls of snow.especially wind packed walls of snow.where mining equipment is needed to open hundreds of miles of road.another problem is when you remove it from the road, you got to put it somewhere.if there are allready 15 foot banks anong the road.a smaller front end loader cant dump the snow that high.its a challenge for these guys.believe me.

The word monumental comes to mind. Thanks to all the Caltrans workers for all their efforts!
People forget that when everyone else is sheltered in , these crews are out there working their buts off in horrid conditions to get things going.
Thank you for all your hard work and great content.
I wish I was skiing there right now. Mammoth is awseome. Back in 1980 I only had the nerve to ski Dave's Run and backed away from Cornice Bowl.
WOW that's a lot of snow. Wondering if everyone is okay. 👍❤️. Prayers are being sent.

This is a MAMMOTH amount of snowfall!!
Alright guys, all of you praying for rain and snow you can stop now!
Why??? You don't want Mammoth Mountain Ski Resort or any of the ski resorts in the Lake Tahoe area break Mt. Baker Ski Area's, Washington of 1140 INCHES OF SNOW in the winter 1998-1999???
More more MORE! ;-) This is an excellent winter for Cali.
That global warming is serious stuff! 😳
That is nuts!!!
In ten years? Wonder what it would be if it was the deepest snowfall in a thousand years..of course well not know it for another approx 875 years.
The day after tomorrow movie scene

Some of these shots could be in a movie or documentary.
How's the skiing?

Wow! That’s a lot of snow! Get stranded there, people gonna start eating each oth-
Ohh, too soon??
Get into my BeLLiE!
The second part of Donner party 😮
Maybe every state and it's towns should have snow dumping and melting facilities. Used motor or cooking oil should be saved for winter season.
Energy intensive operation to try to tame a mountain. Pretty soon there will be no place to throw the snow.
Easter base for tourists,
2nd deepest in 10 years, lol that's not really noteworthy.
