I was in Yosemite & Mammoth last week during some variable weather (rainstorms to snowstorms to sun) which I think led to some pretty unique and beautiful views. The drive from Yosemite to Mammoth was absolutely beautiful as well (120 to 49 to 88 to 395) making me want to stop the car every 100 feet to take a picture.
Beautiful Lars. I'm envious that you were up there during these storms, must have been wonderful! I'm now clicking on the link to your trip report. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks.
Seeing all the snow in Mammoth was really cool, especially since we stayed in little cabins that were essentially buried in the snow and got even more buried during our time there. Then they got like 7 more feet of snow after we left and broke their single season snowfall record.
On a sad note, 3 ski patrollers just died there after falling into a volcanic fissure due to unstable snow.
