Sierra Wave incoming (last minute prep 24” plus on the way) 

What a clown.......your shtick is getting old. You show the same things over and over.....driving around and dogs.

0:01....I just start laughing everytime I see Sadie find a fresh snow spot.. Their great attitude is refreshing.

Excellent video, imagine what it would be like around there if you guys weren’t there. Keep up the great work. Stay safe.👍👍

Some State officials are nervous? Good. For once they are paying attention. I have written in here before that Mammoth Lakes means a lot to my family. And has for various reasons since the early 1950s. I like your channel. First I will say, almost entirely good language. I like that you give a good breadth of coverage. Snow situations, you seem to take care of your crew, you take care of your equipment, the fire department got some attention, the conservation camp inmates were included and so much more. When I was little there was NO fire department. So I am glad to see them established and on target. (I have done a lot of firefighting too.) And you keep an eye on the weather for us. You do good work and I appreciate your efforts.

Here in WISCONSIN, it costs me $60 each time they clear my 2 car driveway from the street to the garage (over 3 inches). I don't think that I will ever complain about the price again, compared to someone up there having to pay for clearing one (let alone a $3000 roof job).

I'm in Tahoe living above a business sharing the parking lot with them... right now two guys are using pickaxes to chop a almost 3ft. Ice shelf that has slowly built up this winter in our parking lot entry.

Now there is another group worthy of mad respect.... Firefighters! 👏👏👏 Can't even begin to imagine how difficult that job is under weather conditions like this. Between rushing to active fire disasters, roof collapse from the snow and general emergencies So, to all the plow workers, firefighters, EMS, police mad respect to all that must endure the changing weather and keep things clear and safe for all. 👏👏 *Love the doggies!!... I think she was making snow angels!* 🚓 🚒 🦺

Those lights on the pet collar's do work great for dogs who like to wander at night to do their duty. I have 4 dogs on 7 acres pasture and they go off the property to poop in the woods.

The Kernville / Kern River flood videos were no joke!

Good to see our local Fire Department from Chula Vista up there helping out our brothers in Mammoth Lakes!

Hi from New Brunswick Canada. Looks like most of our snow ended up in your neck of the woods. I enjoy your videos because I had no idea that there were places in the states that dealt with snow like we do.

I like your content, and all the time you spend doing it,, looking forward to better weather to where you go with that!!!! And as disabled carpenter, you can’t make everyone happy all the time!

Thank you for sharing your daily life with us, you guys do a wonderful job, the town is lucky to have you. I hope when the snow melts you all aren't flooded..

My bet is if you invested now in stockpiling filled sand bags, plastic sheeting and some amount of culvert pipe and had it ready to go when the flooding starts you will be in high demand! The city and county resources will be overwhelmed and working on bigger flood issues while your crew could aid individual homeowners and businesses as a productive business.

It's great that you guys are getting snow but also you need a break!

Why does it take a 4 star apocalypse before high level officials get nervous? The true unsung heros are you guys, the fire and police, and all the rescue workers. Stay safe all!!

I used to work at the Mammoth mountain inn. That is an incredible amount of snow! The shot of the Sierra wave was amazing! The guys on the village roof blow me away! Brave souls. Your all legends!

Awesome Videos! It’s amazing what Mother Nature can throw at you from one year to the next! Stay Safe Everyone! 🇺🇸

its really great to see you and the others working so diligently together, helping each other and staying calm. wishing you well- sending prayers for your safety.

Thank you for sharing 🙏🇺🇲🏆

Pushing a big rock up that hill. You guys work hard.

Lets hope a bunch of this makes it into the aquifers 🤙😎🤙

Love watching your videos. Here in the Australian desert, we never get any snow.

... excellent, thanks for sharing this,👍

An awesome video idea would be to have some side by side photos of some of these locations before the snow hit and what they look like now.

You need an emergency radio frequency to learn the issues and floods, roof collapse and fire with power outage makes living hazardous. Good Luck!

Fantastic video and great filming. Amazing to learn about the winter at Beauftial Historic Mammoth Mountain. incredible place.

If Cali complains AT ALL about not having enough water then the officials are to blame. There is no reason to not have all the reservoirs filled.

Glad the Wave Rave is ok that spot is cool to browse all the gear

Those guys were lined up quite orderly, made me think prison workers,, then I saw all the guards behind them, yup.

Keep an eye on the flashing light on Sadie's collar, some dogs get seizures from flashing lights. Our golden was one.

Hopefully no issues with propane tanks and lines. Mammoth had a lot of issues with those in the late 90s

At least the appear pretty prepared. Mammoth lakes fire and Cal Fire. Looks like they have an Inmate fire crew with Cal fire. Good for them, good for us... Win, Win ....

Your almost at 65 k subs great job.

Thank God you have Kevin Kiley on site representing you... I'm sure Gavin Newsome is nowhere to be found!!!

all that snow blows my mind

Keep some of that snow melt and sell it as souvenirs for the record year!

Look into getting tireject to put in your loader tires. It seals mostly anything you will run over. It can be used as a preventative or a fix. You won’t have to worry about tires anymore. It’s a little pricey but for what you do not having any down time, it’s definitely worth looking into.

The snow loading on all of those roofs with rain to come. They are saying that we will have above normal precipitation through March. I used to think that it would be fun to live up in the mountains where the snow sticks all winter long. It’s so hot in the summer if you live in the foothills and the fire risks are high everywhere you go unless it’s super humid in the summer. It’s easy, no place is ideal unless you can afford to have homes in every climate.

I like how they called out the snow shovel brigade, put all that snow to good use.

I don't know if they've changed the policy but CalFire usually uses prisoners for labor. I was a crew chief during the Yellowstone fire in 1988 and we had a squad of prisoners from CalFire attached to us.. they sure did work their asses off. That I know

Kevin Kiley is a warrior and really cares for people and our freedom. 🇺🇸

I hope CA is capable of capturing all this melt water and storing it, or a good portion of it. All the taxes people pay might be a good idea.

Kevin Kiley is a smart guy. Great REPUBLICAN

I found a clip of this video on the Weather Channel!

Sadie never misses a chance to roll in that snow! lol Was wondering if you had a chance to talk with that Commissioner (?) about what went down regarding the pit nonsense??

I hope everything is OK

Is this what "the end of snow in the Sierras" predicted by LA Times just last November looks like?

Prison crew saved a county owned aircraft hanger at Nevada County airport.

Kevin Kiley rocks!

U can see the road lol Sadie girl is a star

😂 Owen sure loves the camera!

I pray for minimal rain and only snow if it has to. Big rain can get really bad with rivers running through Mammoth houses again.

Love Kevin Kiley

So cool that inmates are working on snow removal…a sense of worth is all a man needs!

13:11 that USAR unit was deployed to your area from Chula Vista FD outside San Diego. That is part of the national emergency response system, and is a result of the aid your community requested. That unit should be equipped with rope, water, and fire rescue equipment + a lot more and structure collapse supplies. Very rare to see it in the mountains, and surprising. I would have figured the task force deployed in 4x4 pickups that they added their cache to among shovels and other snow specific equipment. Hope that is one of many units deployed to the regions most impacted by the weather.

3:00 Back in around 2000 or 01, one of our buddies house in Old Mammoth collapsed. Big heavy 5 foot spring dump...right around end of March if I remember right.

If his auger keeps shutting off he must be just holding the roller switch forward and not engaging the constant run.

Can I suggest foam filled tires for next season. Would eliminate all that hassle.

The guys in orange are the inmate crew.

on the deep build up of snow use a chain saw to cut blocks to remove it that is how the Eskemos build now a days. or at least is sounds good.

Keep it up. I know you are probably worn out from all these storms. Love the videos.

Would a telehandler with a long boom and snow bucket be of help? Just an idea for the roofs. Thats hard work for sure. At least you feed your team very well for their efforts! I am sure they appreciate that.

Sure miss my snow creek place

Great on scene footage Ben. When you get as old as I am and hang up the snow shovels and tool belts...you would be great as a video journalist. 'Mammoth Mountain News'...Live at 6p with Ben. 🤣🤣🤣

I can tell you haven't been here very long. First, that isn't a Sierra Wave cloud, they happen typically in the summer with high winds aloft. When you see one, you will know it! Secondly and with regard to flooding (snow melt is a gradual thing) - we don't heat up rapidly here they way it does in Southern California, yes we will see the streams rise and may exceed flood stage but it is really minor compared to when heavily rains are occurring at the lower elevations of the Sierras. Nice visual on all the snow pack we have seen and experienced these conditions before.

I wonder if there might have been a gas leak at the location with all the firefighters. I saw in the news there have been some explosions due to gas meters or lines getting too much snow or ice on them and failing. Cant wait for the next video. Best wishes from SLT.

I see the future your domed 😮

Frozen White Gold…….. gotta love these endless revenue generators.

Looked like a training excercise for those southern cal boys huh ?

You have customers to serve, leave this to the firedepartment.

Hopefully it will not be like 1997. That was the year 395 and Walker River washed out 10 inches of rain in a few days over a huge base of snow ❄️

B careful get your gas food supplies ect.

todays storm and the thaw should be interesting.

You sure Sadie isn’t a cat ? A SnowCat ? Haha

Crew in orange or CDCR crews (inmates) aka Fire camp Crew. normally they can’t talk to the public and also the media tends to avoid showing their faces for privacy reasons. That’s why most of them ignored your questions, it wasn’t personal just doing as told. The state has activated many of the fire crews for snow and flood response.

Saw a picture of bedroom with windows blown out and huge plumes of snow inside.

Your dogs are so sweet. My lab loves Mammoth ! What is the brand of your dog seat cover? I’ve had difficulty getting one to fit my truck back seat fully.

the CalFire prisoner crew in action.

Oh my god!

Is it a golden retriever thing? Mine does the same. My brother hates the snow ? Love your videos!

I can actually see blacktop

You are doing great! Way, Way, too much response to that "fire". Seems like a political response to local reps in the area. Weird, but that''s how politics are. Don't know if your business deals with landscape, but it seems that there will be a lot of clean up this Spring. Roofing companies are going to make a lot of money this year!

Nothing like getting in the way when someone is trying to save lives and property.

The storm you await Tuesday is firing straight up in SW WA/NW Oregon as we speak, has been dropping copious rainfall below 5,000 ft, so I imagine it's gonna wreak havoc on y'all tomorrow.

Looked like a drill the way the men were lined up. I noticed the fire truck numbers 3331. Nothing to see here. Move along folks. 😉

Hopefully Sadie stays out of the yellow stuff.

Hate to bring bad news: But, what happens when the huge snow melt begins? Where is all that water going. It is going to the nearby low spots and areas.There will be lakes of water everywhere. All that melting snow will become water and it has to go somewhere. We will see areas flooded that have never flooded before even up at Mammoth Lakes area. We are coming to mid March the huge thaw has to start sometime.

People have no idea what's coming!

have a look at Erskine snowblowers for your skiddy. they are robust and would likely help your efforts

CDF Convicts aren't supposed to talk to the public...

Were those my hommies from cell block C in orange??

Chaingang to the rescue.

Did you see the Tornado that hit outside of Sonora yesterday or Saturday.

You were asking jail inmates what happened.

Where will all this snow go to? How much have already melted?

Great videos and I love your dogs, but why the little screen shots at times. It really degrades a video when people do that!

Jail work program. Nice

Bringing in all the big guns in on a nothing burger.

2 of your guys were shovel what I thought was a mountain, but it was the lodge roof . Holy crap . I’m not far from crestline, luckily in the desert & only got 12” over 5 days .
