Good times today. Got too hot to nail all 3 lines that we wanted, but most people are happy with just this one alone.

Got to make some BIG turns down this one. Good times.

And one from yesterday.

Sick man, especially that top pic. Nice choke.

Pretty good, though the dust layer is worse than it is up north and snow is peeling off the dust layer on sunny aspects. There are some good examples of this on CAIC.

Anyone been up around Brainard lately? I know the road is still closed at winter gate, but curious as to conditions up from there.

**Lindahl** · 05-20-2016, 04:43 PM

I know you can't ride bikes up the road yet

50F at Maroon Lake at midnight last night. What a crummy spring for weekend warriors.

**zartagen** · 05-21-2016, 12:19 PM

Good day in the Silver. Snow was perfect at the top at 10....bottom was mank.

**Danno** · 05-21-2016, 04:58 PM

The snow was perfect for the first 300 yards at 11am. The first third was nice but heavy, pretty marginal the remaining 2000'. But it was still sweet.

**Danno** · 05-22-2016, 02:19 PM

It did. It was fun. And I went mountain biking today. Maybe I should post this in the "past your prime" thread, but if I can still hike and ski that, and bike the next day, I'm still doing ok even though 50 is staring me down.

**skiNEwhere** · 05-22-2016, 10:43 PM

Recap of the weekend: mtn biked up and down chimney gulch Friday, hiked Saturday, skied A-Basin today then road around on my motorcycle with a friend through gilpin, Boulder, and Jeff Co. Love this state

Road clear all the way up to Brainard. Quite a bit of bikers on Saturday.

**grskier** · 05-23-2016, 11:12 AM

Hey CO kooks! I've got a couple guidebooks for sale.

$15 each or $25 for both shipped.

**Danno** · 05-24-2016, 02:38 PM

Don't need the top one (fuck ice climbing!), already have the bottom one.

**~mikey b** · 05-24-2016, 03:02 PM

Yeah fuck ice climbing! And if I go back to CO to do a hut trip I expect you kooks to give me the info I need.

I love that line, other than the exit is a bit of a hassle. Those turns off the summit 😍😍

I have the name rocket on a bunch of things - I never really cared for it. I'm happy with this one.. Since everyone 30yrs old or younger associates my name with lightning, and most people call me that.
