skied the emperor on 4.26. at that time you could drive only about a 1/4 mile up Stevens Gulch at best, and there was enough snow that it didn't look to be melting out too rapidly.Quote:

I was up at Grays this weekend. Stevens gulch was not passable without serious clearance. Saw some tire tracks at the beginning but I'm pretty sure they turned around. Wasn't paying close attention.
Good clean corn on Quandry today. 12pm sweet spot for E & S... now time for a gloomy rain & snow break i guess...
Sounds like a good weekend to bike...
Forecast for Fruita looks good. That's where I'll be...
Bikes?!?!?! Anybody seen what might happen sunday?
Snow in the forecast and I'll be at Opa's hut this weekend. Was hoping for a corn harvest but this'll work.
Looks like a big one headed our way. If it keeps snowing, I'll keep skiing.Quote:

10-20" up high by Sunday night? Fuckin' a...
Fingers crossed for one last hoorah.

The storm only a week ago was a 4 day doozey that certainly was more than enough. Don't think this one will be a repeat in length - but isn't that difficult to get good in a hurry.Quote:

Automated models do weird shit sometimes.
NOAA doesn't predict more than a few inches at Loveland Pass.
Daves Wave yesterday (Wed). Was frozen up top at noon and only softening down lower. But sweet stuff where smooth.
Preliminary numbers from my friends over at the NWS are up to 12" on Sunday. Could be looking at 3" down in town.
My wife cursed up a storm when seeing 3" on the porch this morning. I think she's ready for the summer.
Anyone out today? How much has this system produced so far ?
Not enough, just a few
Sundays looks ridiculous. Anyone have a recent update on Jones or Berthoud ?
Jones is sketchy during a storm. Just saying. Vertigo zone.Quote:

^^ I agree, made some really bad decisions there as a CO rookie. Just curious how things are holding up along US40.
How windy does this storm look?
