…That was posted on the forums over at [Newschoolers.com](http://Newschoolers.com).

It is from out in the Mammoth Mountain region of California. It is from one snow storm alone. In 2 days, that much snow has fallen.

God damn I wish I was out there right now.

theres actually no real avalanche risk until after a few sun cycles, and thats if there is warm enough weather. and even then you only really have to worry about south east faces.

i want to be there too. by this time next year though i will…well closer then you all anyways

Exactly. It has been a 109 inch snowfall in the storm…

Being the skier I am, I honestly have no idea why I sill live here.

Not in Mammoth Mountain.

Snowfalls like that are common in that area. I was in Lake Tahoe a few years back and we got hit with 60 inches of snow in 3 days!
