I went to Mammoth Mountain one time in the dead of Winter.
There was 12 feet of snow on the ground.
The streets had been cleared in these grooves the size of a lane.
I’d never seen anything like it. Three feet was the most I’d seen before that.
It made me wonder what the place looked like in the summer, with no slow. It would look entirely different.
BTW: the situation as you describe it is funny...
