Colorado Weather Discussion Thread

Pretty ironic how the outdoor culture that CO has worked so hard to cultivate might now be our downfall.

How so? Even when there are tons of cars at a TH, it’s not like people are skiing/biking/hiking on top of each other. It’s just another thing being overhyped by social media.

And enough of the “us vs them” crap by people who live in the mountains vs people on the Front Range. (Not directed to you, NR) We’re all here in CO for the same reason, it doesn’t really matter where you live. The sense of entitlement and better-than-thou comes across strong from both sides, and it’s annoying and utterly stupid. It’s amazing to read the shit that people argue about online. Just step away for a while and take a few deep breaths.

Yeah, I'm of the same opinion that it is pretty unlikely that someone is going to contract the virus from an overcrowded trailhead, but as stated, I would avoid that situation all together. Unless some dude with Covid goes around coughing on every doorhandles in the parking lot or something.

I don't get the us vs them thing in this case either, but I do think that everyone should just stay within a few miles from their house for a little while and get creative recreating there. Not because of where you are from, but just take it easy. Go for a bike ride around the neighborhood. The wife and I did that the other day and it was really nice. Saw some streets that I'd never even been down in 20+ years living here. We'll probably go ski some mellow stuff in the neighborhood one day.

Many of the cases of COvid in the mountains seem to be getting sent down to Denver anyway, either for more advanced medical care, more ventilators, just lower altitude. This isn't really something that's going to stay in one community, so we are all involved.

Seems like everyone is stuck inside for 23 hrs a day self medicating with drugs and alcohol and internet and slowing loosing their shit except for that one hour a day outside next time your at the hospital pick up this booklet call your lawyer and get your shit in order

Someone in Silverton might remember the 1918 influenza where they failed to do this and died en masse.

But in 2020 shutting down the BC is silly. We don't shut the BC down in EXTREME avalanche danger.

Distance and mellow, that is the name of the game.

No booze, no weed, no skiing, might as well move back to jersey.

Hasn’t gotten that bad yet!

I do think thats its OK to lock out outsiders from your precious mountain community, but then you should be locked in.

No supplies
No medical evac


Fresh from facebook, hearing about mountain locals who caught it and are now heading down to Denver since its better to be at lower altitude.

Having their cake until they need ours and then down here they’ll come and grab it.

This level of animosity is usually reserved for late summer.

The city has family, friends and concerts. And an airport. Our "Parasites" are maybe another Edgewater.
I want to move deeper into the mountains away from the crowds, so if I can stay put and accomplish the same, count it.

Are you trolling
Or are you really angry
If your really angry I'm sorry that you are i wish you could find the inner peace I have with death and enjoyment for life at the same time
In the meantime I'll keep trolling as usual

What happened?

[doebedoe]

What happened?

Something like an 8 car pile-up with a bunch of pretty fucked cars. No injuries I believe.

Yep, I guess if I was quarantined in a suburban wasteland of sprawl I'd be looking to stand out in some way too.

And it left a bunch of people stranded on the wrong side of the pileup.

[fastfred]

hope lock down is treating everyone well on the front range
vail was quiet today

[tang]

Yikes, got out of caribou just in time on Sat I guess. It was trending toward a pile up though, not surprised. Went up there with the kids since safe/mellow but jeez the drive in/out and parking was an s-show. Some dodge powerwagon almost took out a whole line of parked cars and people after he got stuck going up and then spazzed out on the down. Maybe drinking + xbox is the better play...

Stay at home given the POLIS order you mountain town cunts.

How many of the skiers on Loveland pass are scummits?

How many scummits are ski touring vail as the only non closed to uphill?

Stay low and on on your own under served medical system you societal parasites.
