I wouldn't live in Arizona for a reason.

I'm sure the road is open past the top of Mercury chair. How much further is a good question. Probably as far as the usual camping area a bit past where the road turns left off the hike to section of the road. With the temps, and some luck, it is a good bet we'll be able to drive past the usual snow bank there.

Some days are more perfect than others. For summer, anyway.

So ugly up there

I have yet to ride my bike at the Basin. So many things to do.

Seems like was just skiing there 5 weeks ago....oh wait I was

I wish it went from no skiing to full skiing as fast as it went from full skiing to no skiing

Technically, you could still ski. Not much vert, but great summer snow .

Anyone poach this line off in the distance? Looks like you could get some decent vert and snow there.

Poach? That's over on Loveland Pass, anyone can ski it any time. Looks like what's left of Dave's Wave.

I was mostly looking for Reveal yard sale items at this point. Was an impromptu summit after yoga on the mountain with ms. nay.





Did find this nearby.



What's left of that line above is basically the ridge of a gully cornice.

Here we have Peak 10 in the distance, though. Upper and lower patches still connected, so not yet upper and lower patches.

Meh.....I'd rather ride my bike and hike......I can wait till the ribbon of death opens

 

[Eleeski]

I'm not sure where Hugo is but I wonder how the snow making from Hugo's water will ski. It's that slippery slope....

 

[HooDooThere]

I seem to be unable to find the Colorado 2016-17 weather discussion. could anybody kindly point me in the right direction? I need to read about it, it gets a bit boring staring at my weather rock waiting for weather rock to indicate snow. Thanks!
