Ski Southeast Messageboard

Hope all our brethren in CO are safe over there. I know KD frequents the Colorado Springs area.

I'm perfectly safe right now... I live north of Boulder, so the Springs is a long ways away for me (hour and a half).



You must have me mixed up with UT Twintip, he lives down in the area (Monument, I think?) so he's really close to the fires. Fingers crossed for containment soon, the thing has already destroyed 360+ homes, making it the most devastating in Colorado history, and I think it's at 0% containment right now. The weather is significantly cooler today, hopefully that helps.

KD -how far are you from the Big Meadows fire?





Over 360 homes destroyed in the Black Forest area with another 50-70+ unconfirmed because of road blockages...2 deaths confirmed also. Just heartbreaking.

We're good. We live in Castle Rock, a good ways away. There were a few days we got nervous. Even made a Go-bag. A small fire broke out due west of us, but they contained it to only a few acres. Then the winds shifted north, Wednesday i think, that doubled the evacuation area.
