I70 was brutal this morning with all the snow. I was stuck for 3 hours near Bakersville until I bailed and skinned up Torreys. Big powder up there.

Beautiful in telluride today ! What a fantastic place.

Also almost got gored by this moose that charged me. I know to keep a good distance away from them but this guy kept getting closer and closer to us and then charged us at full speed. Never had that happen before. Pretty scary. My girl was freaking the fuck out and I don't think it helped that we had just finished a safety meeting.

**The SnowShow** · 08-22-2016, 07:08 AM

T-Ride is the shit. So did you guys run behind trees as he charged?

**The SnowShow** · 08-23-2016, 06:30 PM

Per MF weather forecast, 20" forecasted for Mt Sherman...um, yeah

Clouds have parted and revealed a snow capped Mt Evans [emoji106]🏻

All weather shit show commentary aside, just good to have cool temps and moisture again! Love this time of year

**The SnowShow** · 08-24-2016, 09:16 PM

This summer has been busy. For better or worse, our whole valley has been whored out. To me "the turn" means being able to go fishing and to the grocery store on the weekends without being surrounded by metro-douches, the beginning of hunting season, desert trips and hopefully indian summer.

**WTF is dat** · 08-27-2016, 07:19 PM

Cold as fuck early yesterday in the IPW and lake Isabelle is completely drained somehow?

How the fuck do they even drain a lake that far away from everything ?

**stfu&gbtw** · 08-27-2016, 09:38 PM

Weather is specfuckingtacular right now. I know because the whining has begun. I don't understand why people who don't like cold weather, or who fear driving in the snow, choose to live at 8+k' above sea level. Personally, I'm done with summer sometime in the afternoon of the day it arrives.

It's not a natural lake, someone owns that water: http://www.timescall.com/ci_21595229...ke-is-actually
