What A Year to Move to the Mountains!

snow so deep in Mammoth Lakes you can hardly see the entrance to Ridge Merino's office

Well, it's official. Mammoth Lakes has received a record-breaking snowfall for the month of January - or ANY month - 212" to be exact. And it's still coming down.  

If that seems unfathomable (and it is), here's a sneak peek at what we're dealing with on a daily basis here in the beautifully, obscenely snowy Eastern Sierra this winter.

a snow-buried car - all you can see is the raised windshield wipers sticking out of the snow     the windows of the Ridge Merino office fully buried in snow     
the narrow tunnel you have to walk through snow to get into the Ridge Merino headquarters Our car. Ridge headquarters. 

Avalanche danger is high, roads are closed, cars, homes and offices (ours included) are buried under several feet of snow. 

As of Monday morning, 241 inches of snow had fallen this month at Mammoth’s main lodge, with 344 inches this season. That’s more than 20 feet so far this January. - KTLA News 

A huge thank you goes out to the Mammoth Snow Removal Crews, CalTrans and Mammoth Mountain Ski Patrol who are working around the clock to keep everyone informed and make sure the area is safe and secure for locals and visitors alike.
