Any Front Range mags that drove down this morning on 285? I'd like to know how the roads/snow is around the 285/17 intersection near Villa Grove.

I 2nd Summit's assessment. Very heavy nearly unskiable. Need to be on steeps or you're stuck even then could be a femur breaker. Thought it would be better as it got cut up but no joy.... I gave up gonna wait a few days...

Be fuckin careful!

Purgatory also had extreemely heavy snow today. It was raining in Durango at midnight, not good. It was still super fun but not even close to as good as wed.

Jordan let me know for sure if you guys will be there sun, i'm still considering going even though the snow isn't ideal.

Not coming down to Wolfie now, and a lot of the crew that was going is now headed to UT due to the frigin insane forecast for Alta, etc.

I WILL chase a storm this year, oh yes I will

Yeah, Poop Ghost had room in his car and departed Denver for Utah last night. I declined, since I have to take my 4 year old son to a birthday party on Saturday.

When will I learn, there is just no profit in parenting.

We'll appreciate this wet stuff later as we need a good wet one to build the base, but for right now it sucks. Good to hear the road finally opened. I was worried there for a while. Couldn't find any info. I'm really thinking someone should create a website that has road conditions, closures, and maybe a few web cams here and there. That would make all of this so much easier.

Have fun, boys...And, I feel challenged now. I have to man up the next storm, kids and house closings, nothing will stand in our way

That is such a good idea. We should also buy a bunch of snowplows to keep the roads clear, maybe plan on doing some avalanche control too.

I'm glad someone said this. I can't believe the BS from some ppl riding there. The snow is over 5' deep,and they are not happy. Damn. Some ppl can't be happy at all.

Lean back, float, and enjoy the awesome conditions.

**F.D.V.** · 01-24-2010, 07:00 AM

Yesterday was off the hook at Wolfie. And yes, if you knew how to surf, Friday did not equal suck. Yesterday, however, was off the charts! Light fluff for all

Good stuff, glad some of Summit Co. went to Utah!

**GiantManta** · 01-24-2010, 08:41 PM

Second F.D.V. - yesterday was great especially for the first few hours. Early laps on ALberta chair followed by hikes out to Knife Ridge and Waterfall were well rewarded!
