I'm not really sure what your point is, but NWS has 57 official reporting stations in Colorado, plus all the SNOTEL stations and other automated weather stations. Pretty sure they don't just base "records of Colorado weather" off one station at DIA.Quote:

Not that big a deal, but all the climate change whining is annoying when actual, real info is available for discussion.
'Official' to whom and in what sense?Quote:

Guess what -- much of the metro hasn't gotten as much rain as Golden Gate canyon or even Golden.
Boulder is definitely below average for the summer. I don't have to look at any records to know that.
Yeah definitely feel like a lot of Denver metro has had a pretty dry summer. July was super dry. Better now
My sprinklers were working OT, but now they've been off for 2 weeks, and lawn is fine.
The weather patterns are getting scary though. :eek:
I hope we still have snow in the winter
Today was one of the cooler rides I've done at White Ranch in Golden... low clouds over the parking lot, but I climbed into them pretty quickly going up Belcher. Once I was up top, it was probably 50 degrees with a light mist, perfect trails, and I was riding into and out of the clouds for over an hour. With no one around... interesting weather always makes things more fun. Looks like more of the same next week!
Had similar weather at west mag.
Sounds cool, you should carry a cameraQuote:

Hasn't eagle county gotten some rain the past few weeks?Quote:

Just found a sweet deal for the grand timber lodge in Breck. 399 bucks this Friday to next Friday.
I'm assuming Breck will be a zoo ? Any suggestions for less crowded hikes? I assume McCullough gulch will be packed
How challenging?
Some ideas: Crystal Lakes trail, Peak 10 from Breck ski area, Baldy Mtn from Boreas Pass, Mt Fletcher from Blue Lake south of Quandary (half is class 2), Mayflower Gulch to Gold Hill near Copper, Eccles Pass near Frisco, Wheeler Trail up to ridgeline between Peak 8/9 on the Ten Mile Range...
New trail map out for A-Basin Beavers area:
How many JONGS are going straight to Face Shot Gully [emoji23]

"Face Shot" is actually one of the original names of the run, the rest are all BS.
