So theres, like, no skiing left anywhere right? Just checking, I'm in Ut,wondering about a road trip.
A friend of mine is on month #212 of consecutive skiing. He skied Fourth of July bowl in Breck the other day and said it was one of his top 3 worst skiing experiences.
^^^ rocks? Suncups? Other?
Suncups mainlyQuote:

Northern CO is a little better, but like I said above, weeks ahead of typical scheduleQuote:

Wheeler trail south on the bike this morning had conditions usually seen around july 4th. Totally passable with only two manageable snow plugs. Even scoping Wheeler pass with my monocular, looked totally passable. Silver lining to this early summer/fire season I guess...
Do it

There is a high country (MTB)ride we never even consider until July 4th. It's our reprieve during busy times, never see a soul. Best semi tech DH around. Rode it last week.
So yeah, shit is pretty much GTG. I even heard that Monarch Crest is dry and that was from Absolute.
401 needs another week or so, for anyone wondering.
In other news, Gunnison and Uncompahgre NF finally went stage 2 today, so no fires...
Still some skiable lines up in the IPW. Hiked to diamond lake last weekend and the trail still had a bunch of super muddy patches and even some snow patches up high, although that area gets a shitload of wind loading in the winter so I assume these were just leftover drifts from the winter
Sounds like it’s just the shaded climb and the usual snow plug around the lake. I rode around upper double top and hunter creek a few days ago, totally good. Going to try star pass next fridayQuote:

Still pouring in Denver - this is awesome. Did SW CO get a ton of rain too?
Does anyone happen to know how far Rollins Pass Rd is reasonably clear to? Yankee Doodle? All I could find online was someone getting about 60% up about a month ago. Sounds like West/Winter Park side is open. Thx!
