No, this was taken at the cabin in Truckee. The snow depth on the
ground was 49" this morning, and there's another big chain of storms

still fill the hole on a regular basis.

Cool. I like tunnels.

Here's our equivalent in the Sierras:

ftp://jjlarkin.lmi.net/CW_sign.jpg

ftp://jjlarkin.lmi.net/CW_Tunnel.jpg

ftp://jjlarkin.lmi.net/CW_inside.jpg

ftp://jjlarkin.lmi.net/CW_jeep_inside.jpg

ftp://jjlarkin.lmi.net/CW_snow_shed.jpg

What's especially neat is that if you know where the entrance is
hidden, you can drive through the tunnels and snow sheds. That's The
Brat's jeep in the pics.
