    I think your videos are great. Snow on the windscreen is to be expected in such conditions! 😊

    That mighty Polaris is the bomb! Laurie was blessed with a fun ride . Perfect scenic route of the Mammoth aftermath ending with a bite to eat. Those winds are wild and don’t worry about the complainers. They just don’t get it and what it takes to film in the elements of nature .

    Long time viewer of the channel but this is my first comment. I have You Tube on our living room TV and will typically wind down into the evening with one of your vids when available. My family and I are the 'drive to Mammoth from LA' 4 or 5 times each snow season type with the occasional summer trip. We have nothing but love for the town and it's people. We typically rent out of Snowflower with another family. Back home I'll holler out to my kids when I throw your vids on and we watch and enjoy a little family time. Just wanted to say we love the vids, my dog especially likes the parts with bud and sadie haha. Keep up the good work! You and your team are doing a great job!

      When I was a teenager in the early 70s we'd make that drive from Long Beach to Mammoth every weekend. We bought a condo unit at the complex RIGHT next to The Village, between the Village and Mammoth Brewing Co. (guess it's called "Fireside at the Village" now), and we did our best to get up there every weekend in winter coz we had season passes for the Mountain.
      We later bought a cabin on the corner of Hillside Dr and Forest Trail; had it about a year, it's no longer there. Somebody apparently demolished it and built this BIG-ass house on the corner. Kinda sad to see that's no longer there but hey, it's 53 years later, I couldn't expect that little A-frame would last that long on a corner lot that could've fit FOUR of those cabins.
      Anyway....I miss that drive from L.A. to Mammoth. As far as I'm concerned the drive outta the city, through the desert, up Owens Valley to Long Valley is the best area of CA. My brother lives in Murrieta, thinks I'm nuts; but I always loved that drive coz the terrain, geography and geology were so different from the south coast. Trying to get down there this month or next month; just hope the highway and Minaret Rd are chain-free by then.

    I grew up in Northern Indiana and went through the blizzard of 78.... you are too young for that one but this reminds me so much of that storm... our country roads were out of commission for over 2 weeks.. snow drifts were over 25' tall and we had to crawl out of our second story windows bc all the doors were snowed shut.... we didn't have school for two weeks it was the best ever!! Played in the snow digging forts and tunnels..... I am thankful for video's like this to remind me of those days.. I now Live in the Smoky Mountains but we don't get that much snow ..... JELLY!!!

      Smokeymountaingirl; I was driving a semi in southern Indiana during the blizzard of 1978. Had to drive while braking with the rear trailer to keep from jack-knifing. Parked it, then barely made the 30 mile drive home. Snowed-in after that for three days until a front loader dug out the road with 15-20’ drifts. It was one of those moments in life you never forget. I was also in hurricane Andrew in 1991 with a pregnant wife, but that’s another story.

  • @briane173
    @briane173 11 місяців тому

    This brings back some crazy memories -- Thanksgiving weekend, 1970; same trip when we saw that awful head-on collision between a little Toyota pickup and a semi outside Independence driving up to Mammoth. The drive up was bad enough -- took us four hours to get from Long Beach to Sylmar (jeez Louise); once we got outta that mess we got held up late at night for that crash on 395. Snowed all weekend and then on Sunday we tried to head back, and had a storm just like this one. _Fierce_ 80 mph winds out on 395, so we got no further than the junction with SR-203 and US-395 and they shut it down. Had to drive back into town and hunker down at the condo for an extra night. Couldn't pass the day skiing coz they closed the Mountain. Finally let up the next day and headed home -- basically _slid_ down Sherwin Grade; we didn't get outta the snow until almost the foot of the grade. One of those trips you wanna forget but it's etched in your memory forever.
