Speaking of a good crew, it's invaluable having guys you don't have to babysit and just get sh!t done and can think for themselves. Every crew needs a Mike too.
Thank you so much for giving us a look into the life your living there!! Bless you all n stay safe!! Lovin your pooches who are the only ones enjoying the snow right now!! 🐾🐾😍🥰
Great to see everyone is roped in. All it takes is one fall from that roof to realize how important when they fall. Saving one life shows these guys you care about their safety. Very good to be safe to survive to work another day. I grew up in northeastern wisconsin. That snow is very dense and heavy to move It has to be removed from those roofs before more snow falls to damage or collapse the roofs. That snow is very dense and heavy much different from the light and fluffy stuff earlier in the season. Snow falling in the very cold is much different from snow falling just below 32. Over time with warm temps the snow melts from the top and refreezes below. It just gets denser and heavier day after day. The spring and the big snow melt are coming soon.
for your roof jobs, perhaps a snow/ice saw would be able to cut bigger blocks to move and increase efficiency for moving that much snow. it appears to be dense enough to hold together
Probably more of an issues of where to put larger blocks. Small portions can be dropped onto the street without causing damage to anything. The main problem the mountain is facing, followed by tools and manpower, is simply where to move the snow to.
On that von’s roof: you could get one of those gas powered wake winch or a capstan winch, then use those heavy duty utility sleds, load that sled(s) and then use the winch to zip it to the edge. Flip the sled and repeat…..I’m just the idea guy x) good luck!
You all are doing an amazing and much appreciated work. Thank you for what you are doing for your community. Praying for a reprieve in the weather and that it stays cool.
Wow - thanks for all your work! My folks lived off Forest Trail for 20+ years and this is one year I'm not missing having to help them dig out/in. Be safe and hope it slows down soon...
Feel your pain ive been through some crazy winters here in south central ak,you guys need to start blocking your snow with 24" or larger hand saws cut to fill one big scoop push shovel, in valdez they block snow with street signs with bent sides and a handle cut in the top them slide the block of the roof on a visquene slide, good luck
What an intro with Sadie sitting pretty . She didn’t look too happy about the 3 am wake up . There the ones that like to wake us up . I know, come day break , my Dutch shepherd spews out a lowd yawn .
Damn that's up there on the village units but I'm really glad to see that you care about your guys's staying safety with the anchor and harnesses. You should explain that to anybody who always bitches about your prices cuz it cost money to be safe and it's always changing by the state! Keep up the good work man I enjoy your videos!
crazy money for that shopping center roof I bet. we got 4 to 4.5 ft 10 yrs ago in ct never want to see that again and we haven’t. this yr maybe 10 inches of snow the whole winter. keep up that hard labor on the roof 👍🏻👍🏻
Wow !! Cool fresh air and hard work shoveling equals 🟰 great sleep !!! Wow now that is what I call work !!!! Is even more snow expected?? I sure hope not ! Great work guys !! Nothing sexier than a man working hard !😉
I live outside the Boston area and in February of 2015, we had 7 feet of snow during the month. We were running out of places to put it with only 7 feet. I can't even begin to imagine trying to find places with all the snow you have gotten and continue to get. Great job all and please, stay safe, especially those roof shovelers!
Seems there’s going to be years of repair work after this. Why roofs are not a different design is a question I have. Being clear of vents and solar panels I guess the Government will be handing out checks to replace all the green free energy. After lot go to the local landfill 200 miles away
Wondering how this is going to impact late spring into early Summer activities. So much snow and then we have to deal with the snow melt etc... Much respect to you and what you and your friends and colleagues are going through.
Dang!! Did it again!! I didn’t get in here within the 1st 2 hours of the video dropping in for viewing!! I was out plowing our 1/2 Of a mile snowy road that goes up to our log home here in NW Montana. 5 miles from the Canadian Border. Up off the YAAK RIVER ROAD.
Sooo many challenges there but looks like your keeping up with it!! I live in Florida now and have experienced snow back in Pittsburgh but nothing like this!! 😮
When they had guys do the hospital roof here and some others they used big tarps to dump snow on then slide to edge .seemed a bit more efficient that just each guy pushing the snow individually. They are all gonna be so toned from moving all that snow ! Let’s pray the next system breaks up with totals
there are 5 foot high parapet walls to get it over. More poor design/building codes in the area. If the walls did not go all around the perimeter, they could push it off, but its like they made that roof into a giant swimming pool.
Wow just wow. Definitely one winter to remember. I was camping in Bishop until the snow came. Now I'm waiting for everything to settle down before I head back from the Desert Southwest. Ehrenberg Az.
I've delayed my trip down there several times now on account of the relentless snowfall there. I'm aiming for first week of April but that might get washed out too. I didn't buy tire chains this season so I'm trying to avoid driving on icy roads there, which has been pretty much constant for the past three months. I hate to think it'll be May before I can get down there but it just might.
Hi guys ,I have been watching you and I must admit I'm impressed with your stamina and diligence. Not sure if this would help but when the sun is shining try mirrors to help melt that stuff. The sun used right is a powerful weapon. You can get big sheets of mirror on flexible plastic which if you concave the will increase the suns power. Would be a very cool experiment and some fun content..try it, sun can be your best helper.
I low key love waking up at like 3-4am when I’m there and hearing the sounds of the chains, the beeping and the grinding of scoopers. I’ll sit there watching ESPN for 3 hours just listening to it while everyone else sleeps
If Mammoth Lakes has the snowfall that it always seems to get, why isn't the local building code such that it specifies higher pitched rooves that are metal panels, so that the snow slides off?
hey brother... i watch every video! what bucket is that on the skid? i need one my t62... love the size and how tight you can get with it. i can't find one like you have. manufacture name? thanks bro - keep up the hard work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pete😁😁😁😁😁
When you get over 600" of snow in a season and call 8" to 10" a dusting. 😂 I get excited when we get a half inch in my part of Texas. 8" to 10" would bring my city to its knees.
Yay coming out for a week leaving sunday. excited for all the snow. hopefully it will be operational and i guess 8 more inches coming wednesday!!! is that the roof of quality in? used to stay there when i was a kid
Just watching the video of the guys on that roof (how many stories up is that?) gives me a major pucker factor. But when it comes to VONS, why did they wait that long?
Good for Owen at 19, by the time he will be 25 he will be skilled in a lot of equipment and work, have good maturity, hopefully a good living and no student debt. I wish there was a lot more like Owen around..... but being woken up at 4am with his dad with a camera for the world to see.... thats not good )
Mad respect for the shovel crews. Hard work. Love me some Sadie.
si, es mucho trabajo....
Serious work on those roofs. Peligroso trabajo.
Exactly!!
05:37 "Sadie! You're on the roof of the house1 What are you doing?!" Sadie's reply? "Just being a dog, Dad." 🤣🤣🤣
Speaking of a good crew, it's invaluable having guys you don't have to babysit and just get sh!t done and can think for themselves. Every crew needs a Mike too.
Any video with an intro of a Dog...good people and that's you man. Best Regards and Best Wishes for you, your crew and business!
Just unbelievable how much snow they got!! So glad they're shoveling off the roof before it collapses! Great work!
Sadie has a "dog's eye view" of the situation from the roof. After all, she is the crew chief! Please be safe, one and all, including the puppies.
Oh Man. I'm glad to see you Angels without wings tied off. Whole new meaning to Fly Away Home.
The Von’s roof is such a massive job!
Wow, amazing! You have absolutely beautiful pups🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Incredibly hard n dangerous work!! Good those guys have lifelines on, bless them!!
I too enjoy unwinding with a good dog and an episode of the sopranos
Sadie says, “yeah Dad. This is the best view. It’s my new hobby. House hopping.”
Thank you so much for giving us a look into the life your living there!! Bless you all n stay safe!! Lovin your pooches who are the only ones enjoying the snow right now!! 🐾🐾😍🥰
Love, love Sadie,😂 she loves to roll in the snow.
I love both, so much fun watching them have fun in the snow and in eachother.
I have a lot of respect for your team. Everyone works very hard and is willing to learn to run different machinery. Awesome job on the video.
Thanks Ben!
Great to see everyone is roped in. All it takes is one fall from that roof to realize how important when they fall. Saving one life shows
these guys you care about their safety. Very good to be safe to survive to work another day.

The spring and the big snow melt are coming soon.
All or at least some of this snow melt water needs to be directed to south CA where they are in a huge multi-year drought.
for your roof jobs, perhaps a snow/ice saw would be able to cut bigger blocks to move and increase efficiency for moving that much snow. it appears to be dense enough to hold together
That’s what I was thinking. Tough job either way
lay down giant heating blankets/tarps over all the flat roofs and plug them in. That would be cool. not efficient, but cool
Probably more of an issues of where to put larger blocks. Small portions can be dropped onto the street without causing damage to anything. The main problem the mountain is facing, followed by tools and manpower, is simply where to move the snow to.
they are pushing it of the back of the building
Goldens are the best! My female red golden Elly perked up when she saw Sadie! Great start to the video.
Man, crazy on the amount of snow on the roof...so much work removing it...mad respect
On that von’s roof: you could get one of those gas powered wake winch or a capstan winch, then use those heavy duty utility sleds, load that sled(s) and then use the winch to zip it to the edge. Flip the sled and repeat…..I’m just the idea guy x) good luck!

Shovelers tuff work that snow on Vons is deeeeeeepppp!
Wow - thanks for all your work! My folks lived off Forest Trail for 20+ years and this is one year I'm not missing having to help them dig out/in. Be safe and hope it slows down soon...
I Love Sadie...
I've been following your videos lately. I can't believe how much snow you've gotten and CONTINUE to get. Man that is crazy.
I love it when dogs watch TV!!!😂😂😂
Sadie and watching reruns of the Sopranos, nice!
Dog on a cold tin roof! She just wants to help!
I appreciate and enjoy your videos! Ty! ❄️☃️❄️
Feel your pain ive been through some crazy winters here in south central ak,you guys need to start blocking your snow with 24" or larger hand saws cut to fill one big scoop push shovel, in valdez they block snow with street signs with bent sides and a handle cut in the top them slide the block of the roof on a visquene slide, good luck
That’s a sight to behold
I left upstate New York many years ago so I wouldn't have to deal with this. So far so good here in Huntington Beach.
Hey, show some video of Mammoth Hospital, I lived in Mammoth during the 80’s when we had record snow fall.
You know how much we all appreciate the work you guys do❤
She’s So funny rolling on the roof 💟It’s a Dogs paradise
Sadie’s to funny on the roof.
Dogs on the roof; sounds like a microbrew. Stay safe boys.
I can not wait for more snow footage and also dry season mammoth footage! Keep it up you are awesome! 😎👍
I think Sadie just relieved herself!!😅
Heavy industrial equipment is a must there!! Life saving!!
What an intro with Sadie sitting pretty . She didn’t look too happy about the 3 am wake up . There the ones that like to wake us up . I know, come day break , my Dutch shepherd spews out a lowd yawn .

11:41...My brothers dogs will watch Homeward Bound and Adventures of Yellow dog, the whole movies.
It is pure comedy watching their expressions.
Wow !! Cool fresh air and hard work shoveling equals 🟰 great sleep !!! Wow now that is what I call work !!!! Is even more snow expected?? I sure hope not ! Great work guys !! Nothing sexier than a man working hard !😉
Has all the makings of a new musical - "Dog on a Cold Tin Roof"

Come summer be good to see snow, no snow comparisons.
Incredible. And I thought 3 feet was a lot! (It IS for here, haha). ...Cheers from 1600' in the southwest Oregon Coast Range.
8" to 12" prediction in Pittsburgh would mean empty grocery shelves everywhere, lol. You all just shrug❤.
Inches are flurries in the Sierras. Here, we literally don't even clear anything except around the doors until it gets to 2 feet. No point.
Your dog is Supervising🐶❄❤
Sadie is hilarious...what a character!
My prayers and love goes out for everyone who is impacted…

can't imagine what the flooding will be like it when warms up!
view of shoveler is good work is hard. life is short, shoveler lives more than most.
so glad your work has saved so many people in the mammoth area.
Looks so scary high up on roof.
Snow scenery beautiful in the dark morning.

All the snow is just hard to imagine till you see its height compared to your employees!

Get it on Mike❄️❄️❄️
If this snow removal thing doesn't work out for ya, maybe open a food cart and make breakfast sammies!!!
You are doing well, Mr Plow! 😆
I low key love waking up at like 3-4am when I’m there and hearing the sounds of the chains, the beeping and the grinding of scoopers. I’ll sit there watching ESPN for 3 hours just listening to it while everyone else sleeps
Hey Ben, love your videos. Have you thought about promoting your merchandise a bit more? Shirts, hats, etc. Online orders could blow up!
TY.
Still love to live there
Man you guys are gonna have snow mountains till next winter.
At the beginning of the video, it looks like the dog is typing.
Finally no more snow forecasted
Sadie is such a character
Insane
After some of those monumental blizzards y'all have been through, 6" is probably a dusting to Mammoth MT.
Hell yeah Sunday morning supercross
Where do all your workers find affordable housing?
I see you’re watching the greatest tv show of all time, the Sopranos! You’ve got great taste. It was the Noah episode 😂
A lot of Raza clearing that snow❤
My guess $150 -200k for vons to get the roof done.
Snowflation is in full Force.
This snowfall is for the DAWGS!!
If Mammoth Lakes has the snowfall that it always seems to get, why isn't the local building code such that it specifies higher pitched rooves that are metal panels, so that the snow slides off?
You are right. Even in bad winters Mammoth gets a lot of snow
hey brother... i watch every video! what bucket is that on the skid? i need one my t62... love the size and how tight you can get with it. i can't find one like you have. manufacture name?
thanks bro - keep up the hard work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pete😁😁😁😁😁
I think one time he showed it it was Tink.
@@Sonoma_Coast thank you so much!!! this blade looks like a great little tool to have in the arsenal.
You wouldn't get me up on that roof even with safety lines!
When you get over 600" of snow in a season and call 8" to 10" a dusting. 😂
I get excited when we get a half inch in my part of Texas. 8" to 10" would bring my city to its knees.
Yay coming out for a week leaving sunday. excited for all the snow. hopefully it will be operational and i guess 8 more inches coming wednesday!!! is that the roof of quality in? used to stay there when i was a kid
I do Not feel sorry for any man who owns his own airplane, or any man who owns a home in Mammoth Lakes CA. BIG money!! Choke on it! ❄️❄️❄️
Just watching the video of the guys on that roof (how many stories up is that?) gives me a major pucker factor. But when it comes to VONS, why did they wait that long?
They were on the roof of the village at Mammoth I think it is 5-6 stories up
how long will still be snow piles. 4th of july?
Dogs on the roof🤣🤣🤣
There will still be snow there in the summer months!!
I bought my mammoth place in 2000 with full intentions of retiring there. It’s too bad the state has gone to hell in a hand basket
Good for Owen at 19, by the time he will be 25 he will be skilled in a lot of equipment and work, have good maturity, hopefully a good living and no student debt. I wish there was a lot more like Owen around..... but being woken up at 4am with his dad with a camera for the world to see.... thats not good )
Excellent video 👍👍you could use about 100 workers.😂
Saw you guys hauling snow any lakes nearby ,dump it in the lakes so the water comes up ..
