For much of the last 18 years, Vincent Valencia has lived alone at the summit of Mammoth Mountain — a frozen world that is lashed regularly by the ugliest weather California has to offer. At 61, he is one of the few people with the obscure skill set needed to supervise Mammoth Mountain Ski Area's gondola operation, which often endures whiteout conditions, 184-mph winds and temperatures that drop to minus 30 degrees.

“I may not see another living soul for five days or more,” Valencia said recently. “I’m by myself and not doing anything stupid.” A confident man with tousled gray hair and an easy smile, Valencia was busy preparing for a major snowstorm — the second to bite the eastern Sierra Nevada in less than a month.
