Hey Dave, this is Tim. You should put a sign on one of those trees, marking how high the snow is and then in the summer time you can see that marking and realize how much snow you guys had
And how high off the ground they were! 😝🤓🤪
Great idea
Or he could just look at his 3rd story window.
@@rydaddy2867 and the tree is going to continue to grow, so marking the house is the better choice.
@Tom Stephens But if you mark a tree, the story gets better every year 😂
We have shutters on our family cabin to keep the weight of the snow off the glass. It also helps to keep the yeti from breaking in. Don't laugh, it works; we haven't had a yeti in the cabin for 100 years.
right! shutters haven't always just been nailed onto the walls for show. they do in fact have a purpose or at least they should!
Jim is exactly the guy I want in charge of my safety meeting. Kudos to all of you for having one. And a prayer too, every little bit helps.
Living in Finland, so I'm no newcomer for a lot of snow, but that is just nuts. Never seen buildings of that size completely buried in snow.
"Not luxury at all".... room for 20 guests, spiral staircase, full kitchen...in the middle of nowhere. It ain't no slum, Dave. lol
Was that another cabin of his they did the big metal hot tub at?
Come on now, the man is hugely successful from TV shows, regular business, and youtube 🤣 to him its not luxury or expensive. But to us normies that's expensive
It's rustic like he said. 🤣 I thought it was the big mansion one he has at first.
@@Sir...... That was at his house.
That’s a typical cabin here in Utah. Definitely not luxury around here. Expensive, totally. But nowhere near luxury. The luxury cabins up here are basically mansions.
The moment I saw the glass dish go directly on the flame…I knew we’d have some fireworks 😂
I live down in Utah county & couldn't believe all the snow we consistently were getting. Then finding out Alta& other area's got 800-900 inches just absolutely blew my mind. I couldn't even imagine how much snow that is. Seeing this video& how buried your cabin was definitely helps showcase the amount that came down, it amazes me!!
I'm glad you guys are making good progress getting the cabin unburied! Hopefully the damage won't be too pricey. I've heard from a lot of people that their cabins have been destroyed! Stay safe gents! ✌️💙
I Pray for y'all & your families. As a Katrina survivor, a 40ft wave came thru my town & didn't settle down till 5 miles inland. Forcontext, so i know what your going thru, in a different way. Please be safe & ty for taking us along
Seeing (or NOT seeing) your cabin really gives a better perspective of the snow depth.
Yes
the news reports showing buried lift towers was an eye opener previously (hopefully the "news" can report current weather accurately)
What happens when all that snow melts and cabins up there are underwater instead of snow?
@@Jeff-jg7jh , dialanark: 666NOAH
As a avalanche expert that started learning about avalanches in 1988 in Alaska I'd be extremely careful up there. In the video I can see tons of areas that could bury you very deep if they slid. I hope you all carry beacons, shovels and probe poles. I also worked in mountain rescue and dug out several avalanche victims. It's no joke I hope you get some training.
im from south africa , cape town. and to see a boerboel in america and even more D's dog , is amazing. they are amazing and loyal and veryyyy protective dogs. even tho al the slobber we still love them...
Hi there - I rarely comment, but wanted to touch base and thank you for the content. Your channel is in my top 10 and I watch a fair bit of CZcams. I'm disabled from a spine/cord injury, so spend a lot of time by myself (with my dog). CZcams has become a bit of a game-changer in that I can seek out content that I like and follow along at my own pace as time (and health issues) allow.
I completely agree with you about the food you give your dog. My daughter is in the 'dog business' as a trainer and working at a boarding facility as the supervisor of animal husbandry/welfare, training, grooming, etc. We're both huge animal lovers. We feed our dogs a raw food that is mostly meat protein with some fruit and veg (blueberry, kale, carrot, spinach, apple). It has made such a huge difference in our dog's health but his coat too.
He is a mix breed dog (83 lb) - a shepherd/malamute cross we're told. He has always had the WORST shedding issue of ANY dog I've ever known. You literally cannot get dressed in dark clothing before you are ready to go out the door for fear of him brushing up against you. We have lint rollers in both vehicles and pretty much in every room in the house, haha. This change in his food has been a night and day difference. So, the food you feed your dog... the real ingredients responsibly sourced, raised and processed, is so important. I'll keep Sunday's in mind if we ever decide to switch him up, or for any trips we may take where toting around raw food may not work. I just have to pull up their website and check to see if it's available to your Canadian dog friends! Thanks for the tip!
Heather🇨🇦
Just learned it's not available in Canada, but I will attest to how great this type of food is for your dogs inside and out. I'd highly recommend it. Oh, and I should mention that our Max is a pretty picky eater and he loves his raw, so I'm sure he'd scarf this down too.
The water intrusion when that stuff starts to melt is going to be a whole extra problem!
i was thinking that too. especially with all the buckling going on i can pretty much guess that cabin is a few inches shorter than its supposed to be at this point and that paneling pretty much proves it. so one could guess there's gonna be a whole lot of new ways for water to get in and seep through places that it couldn't before. crazy honestly. that snow has to weigh tons...
Also the record flooding that is going to occur is going to destroy a lot of real estate there. The amount of water will simply have no place to go at the rate that it will be melting.
I wish the best of luck to everyone there but I also hope they are preparing for the worst possible scenario.
All I can say is, I'm glad I didn't buy a cabin in Utah
Exactly. Therein lies the issue.
Already flooding through some salt lake neighborhoods with creeks that run through. Some areas have 200+ % of normal snowpack!
I was just thinking... "OH NO!!! He's putting Pyrex on the stove!!!"
I could have told them that wouldn’t end well. I put a big bowl of clam chowder on the stove “just for a second” and the same results!
Hope you guys are successful in clearing that snow. It is unreal, how much is on the ground up there! This season's weather has been off the charts! Good luck, be safe!
i like seeing the south african boerbull breed of dogs outside my country south africa, and they are really protective over kids my family had one since i was born and currently have 4 of them. and we go trough 50kg worth of dog food every 2 weeks witch is alot
Not many people out there can say they shoveled out their entire 3 story cabin from 30 feet of snow...it amazes me
It’s not a cabin it’s a house on a mountain
You need to look at Bear valley and Mammoth. I believe they where at 55 feet of snow last week.
Not Many people even have a house to shovel😂
Try goin up north in Canada and Alaska. Seen the same thing or more. Either way it's a pan in the ass. I hate snow. Deal with 7 to 8 months of the yr. What these guys are doin isn't easy at all and that snow will destroy a cabin fast if it isn't taken care of
@@niewissen9912 Valdez is the snowiest part of Alaska afaik and they’re sitting at not even half of the snowfall that’s shown in this video.
It's good to see you guys having a safety briefing before going on the mountain. Everyone should do that! And it's nice to see friends gathering together to help.
I liked the prayer before heading out.

Nice! Incredible snow! Have fun out there and give your cabin a hug for holding together in that mess!
I'm absolutely blown away as to the amount of snow you guys have. WOW! You guys did an absolutely epic job in videoing your adventure, and this truly was an adventure. Be safe out there 👍✌️🇺🇲
We lost our cabin in Utah last week. We live about 13 hrs from it and had no idea until a neighbor called. Roof completely fell in and the walls got blasted out. It’s been in the family well over 50 yrs and held a lot of memories. We’re heartbroken and just can’t even believe it.
damn... I'm so sorry to read that. I would be absolutely heartbroken. hell i was heartbroken reading it about y'all. Will you be able to rebuild? I mean it would be so incredibly expensive in today's horrible economy. maybe y'all could get a bunch of pictures and video's put together explaining the history and how important it was to your family and post it here on youtube and maybe on facebook and tiktok as well? try to put a gofundme or something together and try to rebuild it. i wish i had anything from my childhood left but my family didn't hold onto anything. i miss my old property so much id do just about anything to get it back
On the brightside, your family had a utah cabin for 50yrs. You'll be able to fix it.
Many peoples families dont even own a home.
@@nelsondln amen
So sorry, that has to hurt...
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH oh well poor you 😂
Al is such a great addition to the crew, the man has done so much and has great stories.
He’s the main reason I watch the show. I love his humor 😂
Als the man!
Yeah, you can't beat a bit of CHATGPT 4 on the channel
@@procatprocat9647 he means Allan ,not a,i
@@CZcamsCommunists whoosh parrot 🤣🤣🤣
I appreciate the safety briefing! You guys make it look easy and fun but there is real danger out there.
Absolutely insane. Glad to see you are all ok. Just being in the cabin would have made me very nervous So much pressure from that unimaginable amount of snow. WOW.
between smoking the house out and putting glass over an open flame, wtf were you guys smokin up there hahha
Dangerous stuff. Careful of deep snow in ravines. Huge pockets beneath the snow….poof…you just disappear. The surface collapses. Stay together. Everyone gets a beacon.
WOW!!! I live in Arkansas and you can add up the inches of snowfall we've had here in my lifetime and it doesn't come close to what you have over there. Hopefully you can get that snow off of the cabin before it warms up too much and causes more damage. Good luck and stay safe guys!!
Thank you for taking us along. I live where there is no snow so this was interesting.
Alan’s tunnel looks like absolute nightmare material. Can’t believe he went down there. I would be terrified it would cave in
Not only do I feel claustrophobic - should that cave in - there is no way you'd pull him out in less than 45 minutes of "MORE" digging - so glad everything went OK...
Which is precisely why the very first order of business should have been completely removing all snow from the roof. Doing anything else before that is absolutely foolish.
Love it
The force was with Allen 😀
@@imfloridano5448 The Force is always with Alan. ;-)😃
This is much better than those bone searches that will never produce anything of note. More of this please. 👍
Yeah those bones are long gone unless their willing to spend epic amounts of time and money that mission is a lost cause.
Wow! Snow snow and more snow... Beautiful blue skies and a picturess place to ride the machines. Thanks for bringing us along. :)
WOW! Beautiful up there Be safe ! Have no other words on all that snow !
This is BY FAR, ONE OF YOUR BEST VIDEOS. BESIDES ALL THE SNOW YOU HAVE ON AND AROUND YOUR CABIN
WHY ARE WE SHOUTING?!
@@Wheels_Unlimited SO WE ARE HEARD OVER ALL THE SNOW!!!!!>GRIN

@@DubsStop Nice! Alan is the man! Well, the Wizard
Alan always gettin er done
I hope yall are doing well brother D&D I hope you know you have a ton of great people around the world that would come up to Utah to help dig your cabin out if you ever need help my friend we are here for you all you do so much for so many and you never ask for anything from it you all make me humble to know that people like you guys are making a difference one piece one person at a time if everyone would be like Dave this world would be such a wonderful place and you guys work together so hard and you never forget where you came from to get to the place you are now ask and help is on your way brother Dave
Its cool that ya took what you have to help others with no hesitating. Kudos to HeavyD and Diesel Dave and their crew.
I'm kenyan... I've never seen snow...seems kinda fun to play on it
Can I just say, Dave’s taste in everything from dogs to cabins to trucks has to be top 1% of swag ever
You don't know what swag is, obviously. lol
That cabin looks like it was built/decorated sometime in the 1970's and hasn't been updated since.
@@harpintn As Dave said in the video, it's not a luxury cabin, it's just somewhere for the to crash when they're snowmobiling.
His taste in dog food is terrible. There's only one food for a dog like that or any dog and that's raw , raw bones and meat , they need bone in their diet lots of it . However anything is better than kibble.
Haha sure.. 😂
This shows you the drive heavy D has .oh and the rest of the crew all have a drive to play hard be respectful and to treat everyone the way you wish to be treated .they are the diesel brothers.
I've been up there sledding many many times. Right by them cabins also. Man that's deep! Crazy to think we used to drive our trucks and trailers all the way up the canyon in the middle of the winter when they used to allow it. Saw a few vehicles hanging off the cliff. Many people stuck. I hope we see more snow years like this also.
30' of snow that's up there, more snow than I've seen in 44 years. That's a young man's game, I'm no longer built for that much fun but I had fun watching you guys.
Thanks for the video.
Imagine waking up in this Cabin and not being able to leave 😱
I find myself having to stop watching your videos. Every time I watch one I want to be with you guys. You guys have too much fun. Love it keep it up!
Would love to see a time-lapse video of all that snow melting away in the coming months!
That is a ridiculous amount of snow! I'm so glad you were able to get up to the cabin and dig some of it out. The longer the snow is on it, the more damage it's doing. I hope everything works out!
Alan's tunnel was one of the most dangerous things you've done on this channel!
Nah, he was fine under the eave
I was thinking the same thing!
@Ozzy Pawsborne Prince of Barkness nah if that snow besides him caved in its push him up against the wall
Not even that dangerous 😂
He could have been buried at anytime !!!
Wow! I’m in Tahoe and as you have posted we also have record snowfall. Not as much as UT but deep. This season, reports of skiers, boarders and moto snow enthusiasts in avalanches and your videos prove the need for avy gear. At least beacon, probe and shovels.
South of Tahoe seems deeper. I remember deeper snow in the 1960's. Drought has been in the picture since the 1970's. We have had some good wet years in between the super hot and dry years.
I had HUGE anxiety watching this episode! I would not have gone in that cabin! Scary!
You need to mark several trees at the snow level with ribbons or spray paint or something. That'll make for a very interesting conversation piece for years to come.
Get wide grosgrain ribbon but any color will fade over time. Maybe orange paracord.
I had about 6 feet of snow on my cabin in mt pleasant utah this winter and I was worried. Thankfully it slide off without any problems. Although it did tear my chimney off when it did.
Part 2 coming soon please!! Insane content this snow is crazy deep!!
Always love the realness of your vlogs
Holy shit man. Seeing how deep that tunnel that Alen dug was seriously stressing me out. My blood pressure doesn't rise very often from videos but these guys are awesome and id hate to see anything bad happen to any of them... That tunnel was definitely more dangerous than the diving accident a few vids back... be careful yall.
Yea, that was insanely dangerous. If that snow caved in on him hes dead in 5min.
Was diver hurt?
Unbelievable you always help everyone and your own house is almost destroyed by the snow. Hope you can keep it without damage. Greetings from the Netherlands
Crazy how you stay so positive all the time, I guess you will have to reinforce the cabin!! 😖😖😖 thanks for content wish I was an employee or even neighbor or a friend to come out there and work with you guys!! 💚💚💚🇨🇦
That is just an insane amount of snow Dave, and what a huge challenge!! Cheers
Just watching you start up the mountain had me praying for everyones safety even though I knew everyone was safe because this wasn't live. I pray everyone continues to be safe and that the cabin isn't damaged too much. I am looking forward to more of this "cabin rescue." Blessings to all from Proctor Minnesota!
INCREDIBLE!! Glad you are all safe after working so hard.
Dang that is crazy the snow is so deep hopefully your cabin will be ok Heavy D
Took my first trip to Utah to ride a few weeks ago, was not disappointed🙌 cool to actually see a cabin up there to put it in perspective
Matt, is Dave riding an 850 Boost?
@HeavyDSparks if the snowfall has taught us anything might be time to invest in a heated roof panel system. You could possibly use a good solar generator to power it too for when or if the snowfall is ever this high again.
Absolutely love Allen as an addition to your team!!!! What a wizard!!!!
Thats is an unbelievable amount of snow hope your cabin holds up
Absolutely incredible! You guys don’t usually get that much moisture.I have only ever gone through something like that once. It was about 12ft over 3 days in southern bc Canada. In that much fresh when you slow down on your sled you almost have to do a big controlled wheelie to get back up on plane. It’s almost got the same characteristics as water. We had 12ft of powder on the cabin roof as it couldn’t slide off because it was that deep all around the cabin too.the worst part was it warmed up and rained and the snow acted like a sponge and all that weight on the roof started to crack and break all or the beams and trusses. I had to get up on the roof and dig off as much as I could to relieve the weight. We lost half of the ski lodge as the roof wasn’t as steep.
We definitely need a update video on this. That sucks man hope the best
I would have had to jump the roof with my snowmobile so that I could always tell people that I jumped that roof with a snowmobile and not be lying to them. You don't have to tell them the cabin was buried in snow at the time. lol.
In 1979 we had a 100 year snow in Left Hand Canyon CO. All of our neighbors were coming out of their top floor windows on sleds. It was around 20+ ft. Our rd was closed for weeks. I can't even fathom 40 ft!
Wow, that cabin was not a safe environment. I would not have warmed that place up until clearing a path around and the roof. Great content. I amazed at the stuff you guys will take on.
I hope your lodge is ok! Very scary snow. Glad you all still managed to have some fun in the machines.
My husband and I just watched this…absolutely crazy amount of snow. Glad you all stayed safe!
I could watch type of video for an hour or more! Amazing - well done!
Amazing! Seems like an overwhelming task! One bite at a time!!!!
Now to someone who lives on an island where 1/2” snow is rare and brings the place to a standstill, I can’t comprehend what 30 ft looks like! Fantastic effort as always 👍🏽
The average palm tree is 32-50 ft tall.
That tall. Yikes, huh? Lol
Allen is literally one of the hardest working people I have ever seen.
That snow is ridiculous though
He showed his castle and never left.
Good job guys. One of your best projects‼️
Wow, crazy stuff! That much snow is dangerous and fun...both requiring caution. Stay safe.
Been an amazing adventure. Hope you keep updating on the dig out
What incredible people to help remove the snow from your cabin Dave and wow so much snow 🙏👌👏👏
Great to see my favorite dog breed on the channel. They are great companions. Greetings from South Africa
If there’s another video about y’all bringing equipment up there, please let us know !! Would love to see the end results ❤❤❤❤❤❤
The amount of flooding that's gonna come when this starts to melt is gonna be crazy.
i dont think it will be a big problem .there people live off grid up in mountains and get between 500 to 700 inches every winter and they live through it .
Have you ever seen or heard of The Great Salt Lake ? I think it can handle the snowmelt.
Lol it doesnt flood utah it floods down stream smh
@@UsaRubber check your facts, The Great Basin doesn’t have a “downstream” that outflows to a coast. The Great Salt Lake is the terminus of a watershed, hence why it is salty due to evaporation. The Great Salt Lake has been steadily shrinking for millennia.
You should have paid better attention in school.
Sending prayers. It's been an epic winter all west. Please be safe for avalanches, and epic snow melt floods. My heart goes out to you.
Yes, prayers to all you rich people and your summer homes and cabins.
@@nelsondln it’s not just rich people this snowpack will effect when it inevitably melts it’s going to be indiscriminate
Wow!! You are all crazy!! Love you guys , and watch all the time. You have a fan in this 54 years young women!!
Looks fun. Gave up the sledding 20 years ago. 🤘🏻😀🤘🏻
awesome to watch people enjoy the fruits of their labor!
Hans had the best sense of humor, including the snow he ate
Not all people are as fortunate as dave sparks. Happy as hell for him.
I feel your pain, up here in SE Idaho it has been almost TOO good of a winter. Been here 40 years, not a new comer, it's been epic. Being a snowboarder, ski plane pilot, and snowbiker helps a lot though.
Daves videos make me want to move to Utah so bad. Seems like there's so much fun stuff to do literally all year round. After you acquire the toys though lol.
Just like anywhere. Money helps 😂
WOW I NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE THAT DEEP OF SNOW AND ALLEN SURE IS A LIFE SAVER FOR EVERYONE
I don't understand what the point of that was, they already had access to the building via the window
@@trogdor8764 Alan will find a way to save the day, even if it's not necessarily needed 😅.
@@trogdor8764 To take the pressure off the door.
Awesome video reminded me when I used to plow snow for 13 years in South Lake Tahoe the top of Kingsbury grade. Really enjoyed the snowmobile rides also took me back to when I used to ride my snowmobile that kind of snow keep up the awesome videos
Hey dave, greetings from South Africa, stunning boerbull, great dogs and can get way bigger than Zion is right now.
i would LOVE more vlogs like this. its great to see "every day" content rather than just the large project videos! all content is good content from this crew!
Hey Dave, I'm glad your having fun! We just don't need another K.B. story.
I understand what your doing, just don't want bad news. Love you guys!
K. B. Story?
@@michelekuhne9179 K. B. is for Ken block, an automotive icon who unfortunately died in a snowmobile accident earlier this year.
@@boeing777pilot5 oh, no, that’s so sad.
Sadly, Ken Block ( the Legend of racing) died in snowmobile accident in Utah 3 months ago. Even "experts" with the best training and equipment are no match for these kind of snow conditions. Definitely beyond risky for the team to even go up there with all the Avalanches occurring. RIP Ken.
Wow that's alot of snow. Sure hope the cabin holds up 😊. Great content guys thanks for sharing.
They have been know to implode in this situation.
That snow is insane.
The most i`ve seen here in the Netherlands is about 10 to 12 inches.
Awesome video`s, keep them comming pls.
Man, this year has been absolutely crazy. Working at a cemetery in Utah, we gotta deal with a lot of this. I hope your cabin is gonna be ok man
but instead of snow its dirt and instead of cabins its coffins.
@@kimmacdonald1678 You’ve never tried to dig graves under several feet of snow have you? In frozen ground? It’s not all dirt and coffins.
Not only that bud, you gotta realize we gotta clear the snow so we can have machines down there. Also we gotta make sure the casket and family can reach the grave sight. A lot more than dirt and coffins
Damn I didn't think of that. You gotta keep all the headstones clear. That's alot of work
Hes cabin is fuct. It will be even worse the next time he goes up there.
I cannot get over how much snow Utah got!!!! I feel bad for everyone when all that snow melts! Your cabin is going to need so much work😢
