Photo Essay from the Snowiest Place on Earth, Mammoth Lakes

You guys, California is currently one of the snowiest places on earth. The proof is in The Telegraph, which said it, naming California the snowiest place on earth. And that's no fake news! Just at my home resort of Northstar California (where I'm an ambassador for the winter), for example, they've seen 400 inches of snow. You guys, that's more snow than many ski resorts see in an entire winter. And we're just a few weeks into winter. Meanwhile, further south, in Mammoth Lakes, there's been just as much snow, with more snow currently falling and more forecasted for this week. That means that Mammoth Mountain Ski Area, which is often open until May, could be open until June.

When I visited Mammoth Lakes a couple weeks ago, following the snowiest month in history, I saw it first-hand. And it was unlike anything I had ever seen. From Mammoth Lakes to June Lake to Mono Lake (<---there's a theme with all these Sierra Nevada Mountain lakes emerging here), it was just stupid beautiful.

So today, it only seems appropriate to share photos from a corner of what The Telegraph calls the snowiest place on earth.
