Same, it's got to be either a knee jerk or a policy change acknowledging their potential to have caused/cause a fire in the future. And I think you're right Danno...legally I don't think yesterday...

TY to you both...I somehow got into this link via Foggy's post and it's a different format but seems same station as yours HBM

Xcel kinda ruining their plausible deniability defense for Marshall fire by shutting things down today, but I can appreciate the move.

I'll go dark horse NCAR station at 98...

Yup, they're saying 3pm today through at least noon tomorrow

Yeah its looking pretty rough, gusts 80+. Trees that barely hung on after multiple feet of wet snow are gonna have a tough time. I saw one projection sat night of a wind chill of 12 even though temps...

Fun weekend of spring conditions at WP, was hoping the snow showed up earlier yesterday but the sun was nice consolation. Heard them really bombing the cirque which I thought was strange, cornice...

Just had 10mins of thunderhail in louisville, wasn't expecting that

Yeah I imagine you had to be way in the back seat. I've rode a bunch in the PNW so I imagine it wouldn't have felt too foreign. Glad you guys got out, I'm missing today too due to obligations so...

So how was it? I took the basalt lava flow guidance and did not effort a trip today

Well done by all involved, even if they threw water on the snow being any good in the post about opening up

Prayers up for the grader beached in the lake at eldora. I'm not sure they'll open on time tomorrow. I imagine 46 in 48hrs is something only the most grizzled vets up there have even seen before.

Just switched over to some big flakes after .4" of rain in Louisville, should be interesting from here

If $60M "indie" art installations are your thing, people who've visited have enjoyed Meow wulf, I haven't gone myself.

The event has begun, excited to see where this ends up. Thoughts and prayers...

The caic wrf model I have bookmarked is really taking the upslope to the next level

Unless I'm seeing things I noticed the WB express lane now is "open" after the veterans tunnel vs. starting before the tunnel at first intro...not sure what that's all about. I drop the 9$ once or...

My lower back can confirm, as can the dragging undercarriage of the audi that just drove by while I was shoveling plow icebergs off my sidewalk. We definitely got a nice little band of heavy stuff...

It was kinda fun being forced to send it just turning into my neighborhood but others were clearly less enthused with the conditions

Had a nice walk in the flatirons but the drive back from chataqua to Louisville was a war zone. They had just plowed the outer lane of 36 and a prius was beached on the onramp from foothills, nobody...

Tix are spoken for - enjoy!!

Folks I have 5 day tickets from Red's FTM promotion that are expiring at the end of the season...had a blast on my visit last year right before new years (minus a fluke fall that resulted in a...

I've found the black plates as useful as the red rentals to identify drivers to avoid. Black tags are the accelerator to the douche factor already there. On an 11 year old accord, whatever, but if on...

Some incredible work by the SAR team to rescue this extremely fortunate individual who wasn't crisp with the decision making.

Quite the early season display on west side of wolf creek yesterday morning around 11 - to be fair it seemed like it was a quick pulse of snow that sent conditions south, but from truckers to...

ah that makes sense, i was looking up to see if they filmed around there but looks like it was all in NM


Cheers, and I agree I will be planning an overnight up there near Bison and McCurdy, two...

Is bison where the plaque is saying they won the war?

First time up Bison, seeing formations like this at 12k was definitely surreal. Calm and warm with nobody around I coulda spent all day up there

Damn, during my winter living in Creekside (remains the best season of my life) in 17/18 one of you put me on Wayne's blog and it was a daily read. Randomly rode a gondola up with him once, he was...

I'm hopeful I can get off the couch at 79 if I'm still here, let alone being on "Peak 13,302" in the Juans. Glad he's OK enough and kudos to the SAR team. Edit - Smiley yes I suppose you can vouch...

Just saw this, sounds like Gerry got some luck on the fall and amazing help from a team of rescuers

This is true.

Excellent shots BD that is a great set of what was surely an awesome day, love that area

Summer is nice because you're guaranteed to be rewarded for getting out early. In winter a zero dark thirty wakeup call could still mean sitting on 70 for hours with the masses. In summer, you're at...

Keep healing smiley, glad to hear you are headed back home! Hope the little victories of recovery are keeping you going. Don't forget to document progress so you can remind yourself how far you've...

Rewritten article tells a much better story...most of all about your life/leg and the team you had around you. Heal up and hope the mental/physical journey is smooth and steady.

It's boomin out there

Heal up poser, that sounds like the triple crown of lower leg injuries. Rehab rehab rehab and hope your mental game stays strong, that was the toughest part for me.

Hiking up Ranger/Greenman...

Joel, is that you?

It is not often I nearly spit out my drink while vicariously scrolling through reports of those who got to ski today while I was at work...but this did it

Your wife is to be saluted! Good reminder on timing there, thanks. I'll report my findings back once I take a crack at the late shift in January.

Did you go solo? Trying to figure out if I can cruise up there weekend afternoons and not have to pay for parking. Hoping they're short staffed enough where whoever is policing that in the AM has...

Some reports saying electrical transformer box or something of the sort...though a careless camper is always a likely offender. Sounds like winds finally dying down tonight.

Thanks a ton for the wishes! I think I'm mostly there...hurdles probably half on the mental side for this season but I intend to lace em up.

In weather news, seems like colors on the Peak to Peak...

Sounds like the program is a pilot so I assume if it's a success they'll replicate (of course not a safe assumption). And yea not as much $ but would think maybe the state would chip in. You won't be...

Wondering if Wolf Creek would be candidate for the same thing?

Mt Thomas/Red Table are super cool and lots of pretty forest around there. Terrain is rugged, no idea what they're going to do to be able to control this to the south before it runs towards Ruedi.

Close to a foot in central boulder, super wet and heavy and coming down pretty strong now. As good snow fort material as you'll get. Trees are not taking this well...whatever weak limbs survived the...

Hope she is healed up! My situation is still up in the air nearly a year later so haven't got to fighting the bill myself yet. Apparently the flight company goes to battle with insurance for as long...
