Were you part of the FOBP group? Never seen such a crowd in the bc as the swarm ascending tuning fork Saturday am...

And yeah, the road is good to go.

Technically, that group was not an FOBP group. Several FOBP instructors are a part of it, but it is not an FOBP sanctioned or sponsored event. Just FYI,

What was the group size?

Where are the photos?

I was not there but I was informed that the official dress code was a sock, and nothing else.

So old school, it's new school. I prefer a crown royal bag.

Yeah, someone mentioned they were connected to FOBP, but they pulled up a different spot in the sun to wait for the corn harvest, so never got the details.

Nah I was rolling solo, but saw the crowds as I was heading out. Road is totally clear, albeit a bit muddy all the way to the base.

Tuning forks was awesome on Saturday... Emperor was less so - super sun-cupped and doesn't go all the way to the summit currently.

how far up can you drive up in a 4x4? I went about a month ago and there was a snow drift blocking the road right after the split.

Literally one post above yours.

Road is totally clear, albeit a bit muddy all the way to the base.

[blackalps]

my question was specifically about driving. Being that it was covered in snow and that I've never seen it dry, I'm asking if it is possible to drive it much past the split.

I miss the days when people knew how and when to use the word "literally".

What don't you get? Not sure it could be spelled out any other way.

That depends on your vehicle and your talent for driving it.

because the road is really narrow and looked to me more like an ATV/OHV road. I'm asking if a truck will fit down the road.

Most of the people who regularly post on there ski, but I found it in a standard route description. The forum is definitely less full of self righteous, self important assholes than this one. But really, that's true of pretty much every other forum on the internet.

That forum is filled with half wit newb transplants and crusty old codgers who use twin hiking poles. Have fun over there.

In a literal sense, the post immediately before yours contained the answer to the question that you asked.

I miss the days when people had balls,and and didn't just seek them out on the Internet.

everything has to be researched approved by everyone around you and absolutely perfect, or else its just better to stay home and not do anything maybe drink? Then when you complete your adventure you can tell everyone how awesome it was on social media

the idea of going outside and just rolling with it, maybe getting lost, having a bad time, skiing shitty snow, that's all for amateurs, no one wants to have bad experience anymore

We'll make sure all those Millenials stay off your lawn.

Kayaking, we used to say "you can only run it blind once". For all but the gnarliest rapid, we use to make any first timers lead. Now I heard of groups running the Grand Canyon with youtubes loaded up on tablets of every 9/10 rapid and planned camps. I have also seem footage of first descents that have been drone scouted.

Good thing there is plenty of adventure out there for those who seek it. You just have to walk a little further than you used to.

Possible good news?
Strong, early monsoon season predicted for western Colorado
After the next 10 or so days of a dry period: "Indeed, a map on the CPC website shows a green bull's-eye hovering over the Colorado-Utah border and extending across the western half of Colorado, most of Utah, northern Arizona and the northwestern corner of New Mexico. It indicates a 40 percent to 50 percent probability of above-average precipitation for that area."
