Jackal is my favorite hut, enjoy.
Just got back from Loveland, the return drive may have been my fastest commute ever, pretty bizarre driving on almost entirely empty roads all the way back to Denver.
We are off to Margy's hut this weekend!
Sitting out the Eastbound closure in a Mexican restaurant in Silverthorne.
I just got an obtuse email from. CDOT. I think it reopened.
Epic day at the Basin, and much as any delay is worth it, this one is.

Good to hear. Haven't been up there yet.Quote:

I70 really is full of a bunch of asshole drivers. Tailgating in conditions like that, weaving in and out when everyone's going 40 max because the road is shit, and causing everyone to keep slamming on their brakes. Also had a idiot try and pass me in the closed Toll Lane by Dumont. What shitards.
It's not the hut with the best skiing, though the skiing is good. The view is insane. And I like the hike in, it's the goldilocks hike, just right.Quote:

Those signs are fucking useless and more cause more trouble than they solve. Fucking CDOT idiots.Quote:

Not naturally triggered. Might be photoshopped.
from what I have seen on the interwebz, it isn't photoshopped. And if not naturally triggered, what? CDOT wouldn't blast a path that could run to the road and leave the road open. And I highly doubt it was skier triggered, though that is possible and maybe you have knowledge I don't in that respect.
Don't take the bait that easily Danno.
my bad
Man, and you'd think that big snow-fence up top would prevent shit like this from happening ;)Quote:

Shopped it myself bitches. How convenient there is a i70 sign right there? [emoji6]
wow, incredible photo. I wouldn't be surprised if doug got calls from national news organizations for interviews. That one is going to go viral.
