Thanks for the info.
I agree, Cabin Creek was off to a good start, but my last time there was lacking. I mainly just like the patio, sitting on the lake is cool. They fill their 16oz cans off the taps, and sell them for $23 a four pack. WTF?!?! I bought the Foeder Pils that used to be really good, but it was $23 oxidized crap when I got it home, couldn't even drink it. The restaurant space itself just seems a little too sterile, like needs stuff on the walls and something cool to look at. I'll give em a pass though as they opened during a pandemic basically. Funny about the yurt.
Good to hear the Ram is trying to make a comeback. We used to meet my wife's grandparents from Evergreen there for Friday fish fry a lot, good memories.

Came down bakers tank this morning expecting the worst at the trailhead and I was not let down, which is always funny as baker's tank itself is empty since they're all on aspen alley.
Almost 2pm and the traffic at Floyd hill is still friggin bad. What's the point at this time in the day.. I MUST SEE THE FUCKING LEAVES CHANGE, WOMAN, WE'RE NOT TURNING AROUND.Last edited by bamboocoreONLY; 09-25-2021 at 02:10 PM.

Rode from the house today up Tfoot and I’ve never seen that many cars parked around oro grande but only one small section of trail I rode actually had people on it. Those aspens are like a bug zapper for the front ranger insta crowd first one they see and they’re done.

I’m pretty sure someone here was telling us about witnessing road rage in Kenosha Pass in the middle of a leaf peeping traffic jam. Pretty funny to visualize. Adults losing their minds over yellow leaves.

If you are actually doing something and need to be somewhere tourists doing dumb things can really grate on you
For a few years now I count to three slowly when someone is being stupid then its the horn after the first horn beep of the day it becomes automatic the amount of car horn use in summit is at an all time high I wonder why

I didn’t see the accident, I thought it was just poor timing for all those poor souls. Traffic moving ok other than that oversized trailer getting hoisted at the bottom of Floyd Hill EB…until west of IS. Flying down from the tunnel with no other traffic, looking at a line of cars EB was just kinda odd. Bottom of lower truck ramp was about where things started to back up. They are probably still out there.

It was backed up before that crash in Idaho Springs. It was fucked from tunnel to g-town. Smooth sailing down to IS when the accident occurred. Everyone was fine but a couple cars totalled. Got there about 10min after the incident.
No fucking clue why traffic was fucked prior to that. Went for an hour long run up Dry Gulch hoping it'd let up. But I had to spend all weekend at the ski hill and commute to-fro Denver sucked even more than usual both evenings this weekend.

OFFICIAL I70 BITCH THREAD....
Been many months since had an I70 experience.
Highlights:
Fuckwad BMWer doing 75 up vail pass who suddenly by Copper decides to go 60 in the left lane and wont move over. Then proceeds to ride at 75 in my blind spot for 10 miles (me in open right lane and him in left lane) after I pass on right.
Thousands of nimrods staying in the left lane from tunnel to IS in slow and go traffic as I pass hundreds simply staying in the right lane. Most people get into the left lane and stay there in some mass delusion of aspirational hope that they will go faster over there. Ignoring the blatantly obvious fact that it is slower over there. See ya morons.

Update, Guanella Pass Brewing’s spot in Empire is LEGIT! Best Pizza (Detroit style?) I’ve had in a while, beers and service are good too. I’ve found my new alternative to Idaho Springs and they bs paid parking. Empire, who knew?!?!

I love small town rumors. They are always juicy, and usually total bullshit.
Just make sure someone plows Trail Ridge so we have a backup!

CDOT has been struggling for years to fully Staff the maintenance divisions in the Mountains for a decade if not longer. The current staffing shortages are compounding this. The County I work for, almost perpetually, has openings for plow drivers.

formerly an ambassador for a few others, but the ski industry is... interesting.
Fukt: a very small amount of snow.

I heard a rumor that half of Breck’s hotels are shutting down for 6 months because of being understaffed and because of bed bugs. Winter ‘21-22 is done.
