Nightmare! Not even close, it was a party! Snowmachines blasting up and down the road, huge piles of it everywhere, XC skiing down the streets, cars literally being lost until the spring thaw.... it was great! And man was it wet in the spring when it melted.
Here's another pretty snowy winter. We'd get dumps like this overnight. That's a snowmachine trailer with 2 sleds on it.
This is in spring on Spencer glacier when a lot of it had melted.
(you can see why they had to take the wires off)
