I have a summer cabin in Kirkwood, the snow is bad enough without the wind. For me I'm hoping it's already buried (typically 50-100 feet above the roof).
Usually the snow doesn't get you, but when the wind hits those huge pines already loaded with snow can snap like matchsticks. Hopefully the winds blowing the right way when it does.
It's going to be an anxious spring waiting for the snow to melt to get in and see how it fared this winter.
I'm really hoping this climate change starts kicking in soon, I'd love to be able to use it more than a few months out of the year. ;-)
Apparently, due to this storm my family cabin, that I got title to a couple of days ago was destroyed in an avalanche. I just went up yesterday, it moved a three story cabin 20 feet and pitched it up on a tree. Total loss, no insurance, though it's not likely forestry service would allow me to rebuild. Super sucks as I just finally got it to a condition where I could go up and use it and not just fix stuff.
Mother nature wins every time.

I haven't been to Kirkwood in years...
Amazing how show can transfer the pack weight around something like that..

That is difficult. But most historic structure can be rebuilt.
