Quick question... I am sitting here in Las Lenas after the 10th straight day of riding and have found that the one thing missing here, besides snow, is a reliable map of the surrounding area. I am wondering if there is a website that would have downloadable topo or satellite maps of the area so that I can find new areas to explore. Thanks for any help. -Matt

Basom... That is exactly what I am looking for.. How do I get a copy of the image or the surrounding valleys. Thanks -Matt

please give us more info about how things are there - some of us are counting the minutes until we head down.
Have been down here for a little more than a week now with three more to go. We got here last saturday and missed a storm by two days. The leftovers were good, but we haven't had a storm since we have been here. Have taken the week to put the skins on and explore the surrounding peaks and ski some spring corn aspects. As of today the Avy danger is pretty low, but once we get a dump things will be a little sketchy b/c of the hard cohesive crust layer that the neew snow will fall on. Patrol is real helpful about snow and where to go, but as you have read, a good map is hard to come by. If you can order one from the states before you go, I would suggest it. Let me know if you are going to get down here before the 15th of August and I would be happy to share the knowledge that others have been so kind as to pass on to me. -Matt
