type snow event that shut down the mountain that I live on at the top of Lake Tahoe at about 8,000 feet elevation. And we got just tons and tons of snow. But it happens often, maybe not that intense of a storm. But so much so where we were cut off from anywhere else. We're snowed in. Fine. I'm prepared for that stuff. Three days without power. Prepared for it. It's fine. We can have fun.

It's actually a relief. All the cell phones go off. All the iPads go away. Computers. And everybody's just playing card games with headlamps on. I mean, it's a riot. So we had a good time. You know, the food supply was still good. But, you know, it's New Year's Day and we're getting a break in the weather. So I decided I needed to clear the roads and see, come out for air, essentially.

And in doing so, that's when the accident sort of transpired. And it's more of a routine type of thing to have a half-mile-long driveway up there. And I have to maintain it myself, so I have a snowcat and a bunch of other snow removal type equipment. There was a bunch of vehicles, snowmobiles even, things that got stuck in the driveway because it was a lot of extra snow.

And some of it was very light. And then it got very icy and hard. So you're sinking down like three or four feet into it. And it was a hot mess. So I had to try to dig all that stuff out using the snowcat, pulling this stuff out. This thing, a snowcat, to describe it in words is pretty difficult. But it's like a tank. It's probably, I don't know, 12 feet wide.

The track's on each side, so it spins like a tank, like a skid steer. There it is. Yeah, there we go. That's a small, tiny version of one. But, yeah, it's something kind of like a Star Wars, you know. But this minor or metal track is more like that one right there.

That's it. That's exactly like the one I have. So it's about like 16,000 pounds or so. And it's very nimble on the snow.

Yeah. So you have to step on the tracks, you see, to get into the cab to operate it. So stepping on the tracks is a normal thing to do. You just don't do it while you're operating it, right? You're in the thing, you drive it, and it's just easy. It's a thumb, go forward, reverse, and you're neutral, and that's it. It's really easy to operate.
