This isn't exactly SOCALmountains, but amazing nonetheless. The storms we've had here for the past week brought 15.5 FEET of snow to Mammoth Mountain. For those of you who have skied/snowboarded off the top of Mammoth, these pictures may look familiar... or not! These pictures are from Mammoth's Facebook page: [Click Here]

Mammoth Mountain closing in on record snowfall season Story - [Click Here] Unrelated to the previous story, here's a photo Mammoth recently posted on their Facebook page with the following caption: Any guesses on how long our snowbanks will last?
I don't think the hard stuff is gonna come down for a while yet! No good deed goes unpunished.
Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just pretty much leave me alone.
Was thinking about going up and bike there this Summer, better change that plan to Fall
Ya, I think they're just gonna skip mountain biking this summer! I wonder if they'll stay open for skiing/snowboarding into August again? I believe their latest closing date ever was August 13, 1995!
Hug your family, reach out to your friends, and look around at all the new friends you've yet to make. Prayers to all those whose lives will never be the same.
Everyday I am thankfull for something. Today a friend said "Glass half full, be greatfull you have a glass. "I would add to that even if your glass is dirty be greatfull you have a glass to clean.
I'm thankful for the warm sun on my face when I wake in the morning, the whir of my ceiling fan cooling me as I go to bed, my soft puppie's fur snuggling up against me, the fact I have food to eat and family and friends that I love and that love me. Every day I wake is a new day and new chance to do better. I'm thankful for my friends on SCM, sho are always there for me, worried when I worry and this last year with my daughter's head on collision on Moonridge in Aug and then the fire up the block form my house a couple weeks ago have been trying but it is nothing like a tornado where the school is ripped to shreads. I am thankful I try to help people and for kind persons I see doing it too.
I'm thankful for each new day that brings opportunity, pause for thought and appreciation. I'm thankful for my family : the love, the chaos, the laughs, the tears... All of it. Signing off for tonight.
Orr Family Farm media inquiries might be worth a try: 405 609 7068 They might be able to refer them to someone. Its a nightmare now. There are many many horses unaccounted for and they are racing dark to find them and triage them. Identifying them might not happen right away. I'd be a wreck waiting to hear about my babies!
I'm thankful for my life, family and friends, including all my horses, dogs, cats, birds and every living creature that I take care of. I'm also thankful I have a bed to sleep in and a roof over my head. I'll be reall thankful for the survivors of all disasters that have happened lately...past present and future.
As always, thanks everyone for the updates. Continued prayers. 2013 has started off to be a year full of disasters, loss, and fear. Anyone care to share what they're thankful for?
