92" of snow in 72 hours- we bit off a bit more than we could chew, but what an incredible experience. We took the Mercedes Sprinter 4x4 van to Mammoth Mountain during the atmospheric river, arguably the storm of the decade which should create some incredible ski and snowboard conditions for the 2023 snow season.

This trip was unreal. Questions? Drop me a line.

@nancydechellis4332 Год назад

I lived in Mammoth in 79. We lived across from the main lodge. In the middle of the night we would be woken up to move our cars so the parking lot could be plowed. We gave up after a month. Our cars were buried in 25 feet of snow. The best part of a snow storm is when the 395 would be closed. We’d have an awesome time skiing in the beautiful sunshine and no crowds! I’ll never forget my years in Mammoth. The best memories ever.

@stevefoltz3838 Год назад

It all was forcasted. Having the propper food and water reserves is up to only you. Stay put and dont put the family and others in danger. Trips for food and goods should happen ahead of time!

@outdoorbros_ Год назад

Don’t worry, we had all supplies and everything we needed in the event of an emergency.

@wendyphillips5002 Год назад

I was in mammoth lakes in the heaviest snowfall of later 1970s. The snows were thrown on the sides of the roads to near the phone and power lines. In the parking lot at the ski hill the piles were nearing 15 to 20 feet high. Parking spots are valuable because they have to be dug out. When you leave someone else takes your spot. You have to carry a snow shovel when driving, most likely you will need it.

Good points! Sounds like epic times in 70’s.

Mammoth Local of 23 years. I am enjoying how many new videos are coming out this year of Mammoth's God-given snow! We are hearing reports that February will be big snow too. The summer should be awesome with the creeks, lakes, waterfalls full. But, everyone will need to be safe especially with dogs on hikes so they don't get swept into the waterfalls. Be aware! Great video. Thanks for posting.

@outdoorbros_ Год назад

No doubt- play it safe. Where is the big February data coming from? I saw Mammoth Mountain Life’s video saying the same- I’m all in. Spring and summer are going to be incredible.

@honeydew4576 Год назад

@@outdoorbros_ I haven't seen any actual data saying February will be epic. I heard it on Mammoth Mountain Life too. I think he is saying that because typically February is our biggest snow. But, that's all I've heard.

This storm was decent but nothing like 2017. 23 feet in 5 days now that's a storm of the decade. National guard brought in to help remove snow. Roofs and decks collapsing. People's beams sounded like scruncing empty water bottles. Shovelers making $100+ hour

@jameshinton429 Год назад

Lived in Mammoth toward the end of the 90s, we had a nice El Niño. While we got tons of snow that year, I remember colder years, earlier, and seeing snow way south of Lone Pine. The trip back and forth to Sacramento was also nuts mid winter. Living in Mammoth was sick. Edit: My vehicle was an ‘85 Honda Accord. Ripped it up.

@outdoorbros_ Год назад

I remember big storms from the late 90’s. Definitely hoping we have a cycle of storms like that in the coming years. I bet the 85 accord was a blast in the snow!

We were up there that same time (arrived Thursday). Tried to bail out on Sunday but had a torn brake line. Paid an insane amount of money to get towed to Bishop. Wound up stuck there till Wednesday anyway. The whole town was filled to the gills with folks trying to get IN to Mammoth but stuck. Wild times

@wendyphillips5002 Год назад

Welcome to a real mountain heavy snow winter. That can be the best experience walking in the heavy snows and blizzard conditions up at mammoth. Put on the right clothing and get out and look at the incredible experience. If you want and miss warm summer mountain biking go back to LA. This can be an experience of a lifetime. Everyone drops everything and gets out and enjoys the heavy snows and blizzard conditions. It is wonderful digging yourself and others out of the snow and ditches. It can be fun digging people out of ditches and being stuck in snow. I grew up in northeastern wisconsin. Some of the beat times were during heavy snows and colder temps. With layers of clothing with a warm hat gloves with a jacket with a hood and good boots you are OK to get out and see it all.

@outdoorbros_ Год назад

It was an awesome experience- thanks!

Holy snowballs, that is a lot of snow. Is this gonna be a big problem when things melt Will there be floods???

@outdoorbros_ Год назад

I would imagine that if the temps rose quickly, that would be an issue, but I think we’ll see temps stay low and more snow come in. Could happen in Spring, I suppose.

@tentwelvedesign Год назад

Hi, great video. only question. When you were in that snow did the van get stuck at all? I want t be a sure the 4wd van is worth it or just go for the AWD. Thanks

@outdoorbros_ 11 месяцев назад

Thanks! Didn't get stuck, but we had a TON of weight on the van. It just kept going and going.
