Just about to head out on fire patrol. Anyone want to bet $20 that I don't put out at least one fire? Will report back in 90 mins or so.

No takers? Incredibly, not only weren't there any camp fires, there weren't even any campers! Not one tent or RV in the whole valley. I guess if you're not allowed to shoot at or set fire to your old appliances, what's the point in even going camping at all, right?
What valley? Sounds like a good ole time [emoji851]Quote:

Did anyone get up above treeline near Summit this weekend? How's the air quality? Still hazy from fires?
Air quality is fine. Rode 25 miles today, not above TL but I have sensitive lungs when it comes to smoke and I was fine. No really haze.Quote:

And just like that we're back down fire danger rated at Moderate. Amazing what a few days of solid moisture will do.....
Moody day on Lake Dillon. So good to see some rain.
Nice long nice long moderate rain in Golden Gate Canyon last night. Fire danger is still high.
Hoping dumb fucks don't act dumb. Cig butts stay in the car also.
Did anyone run the Cirque Series at A Basin today in the rain? Looked like an awesome event.
Winter is coming

31 at my house yesterday AM
Can be inconvenient but so nice to see a rainy month up in this desert. I think it has rained everyday for about 15.
the whole gaper state has started the count down to opening dayQuote:

Yawn - winter is still 3+ months away. I'll take a nice indian summer.
Every year the "why nobody skiing in April?" question gets brought up, and every year its the same answers.
Yeah, I'll take last year's fall: warm to Thanksgiving then nukage through January.Quote:

Hell of a storm rolled through last night, haven't had one of those in a while.
I can't believe how fast summer is flying by, feels like I'm going to blink and it'll be yellow leaf MTB season.
Yep. November sucks generally, unless it's dry and warm and I can ride my bike.Quote:

Where are you in Golden? Town or up the canyon?Quote:
