Northern continental divide?

Im not the one who even asked for the location but you are an asshole. It is fucking June. There is no powder to be saved by not revealing the location.

There looks to be a small ground fire up above the keystone landfill/gun range. There's not much smoke, and it doesn't seem to be growing at the moment.

Let's hope it stays small.

And on an ironic note, my smoke detector just started beeping, indicating low battery.

[TransplantedFromRMNP]

yeah saw that today, yikes! hope is doesnt get too gusty

[zartagen]

Looks like it got put out.

Is Crested Butte starting to clear up from snow? Is the 401 rideable?

[montanaskier]

Word is that there are patches of snow on the dark timber uphill, but some people are walking around it. Others are riding it as an out and back. Pretty much all of the major rides are open other than 403, Teo, and Star Pass. Many of the trails are dry/dusty/need rain.

did a snod/403/401 combo yesterday and the dark timber uphill from schofield did indeed have a few small snow patches to dismount around in the first quarter mile or so. After that it's pretty much all ride-able.

On the CBMBA's website they are showing 403 as good to go now which is kinda dumb. Still lots of snow/mud to melt and dry out...you'll pretty much be walking a lot of the upper part of the downhill in the trees. I'd say it will be a couple more weeks before I'd even think about going back.

[montanaskier]

ummm....it's hot, can winter come now please? Ok, how bout a little rain at least?

[The SnowShow]

near 100 in Denver..at least it's dry heat

[BDKeg]

near 100 in Denver..at least it's dry heat

looks like they're getting a bit of a break from the heat today and tomorrow, but back into the mid 90s through the weekend and all next week

[Name Redacted]

Is it ever going to precipitate again? Loving this weather but things are drying up scary like.

[skiingislife]

Did anyone else see the meteorite today!???

[zartagen]

And there's the Quandary fire on top of those.

[WTF is dat]

the whole state of colorado is burning. seriously look at the 9 news site.

104 today in Denver?

god it's fucking hot and people still deny global warming

[Jax]

New fires in Estes and near Leadville. Wowzas.

Hold on to your hats, 4th of July isn't even here yet.

[zartagen]

Every year with the fucking forest fires, you guys are worse than a sewing circle. It could rain a bunch. Emergency plans are are must

^I remembered this from March.

It didn't rain a bunch.
