You drove through 6 feet of snow? In what, a snowcat?
4 wheel drive yukon with Chains on the front wheels, Nobody in Mammoth stops what they are doing because of a little snow. They Plow the Main road, and Private Businesses plow the other streets and Parking Lots, and Private Businesses IF YOU SIGN UP FOR THEIR SERVICE, which almost everyone does.
I recall a 32 inch snowfall on Halloween when we lived in Minnesota. I rolled out early, fired up the big 8 horse snow blower and cleared my drive in about half an hour.
Of course I still couldn’t get farther than the mailbox; there was still three feet of snow in our street.
