The End of an Era...We are Shutting Down the Messageboard

The messageboard is now in read-only mode and no new posts or topics can be created. We will leave the messageboard up for historical purposes, but you will not be able to make new posts or comment on existing ones.

We have started a Discord server and hope that you all will join us on there. Technology has changed over the years and maintaining the messageboard has become somewhat of a pain in the butt and Discord offers many features for users, the main one being a very polished mobile app.

We really hope you all will join us on Discord and think you will like the platform. Use the invite link below to join.

I couldn't resist Ski Country's Gamblers Sale - picked up new Dalbello IL Moro MX boots, Head Kore 93 skis and a Giro Zone helmet to replace my 10-12 year old setup yesterday.

Yeah - I really like 'em so far.

Yes, we didn't get snowshoes because we'd have had to drive back into Leadville to return them or into Silverthorne and then back to the trailhead after the snowmobile tour. The trail was pretty well tracked in as long as we didn't get to far onto the edges. We did both go thigh deep a couple of places when we strayed to close to the down slope edge or once we reached the old buildings.

Garret is sitting on top of the gate post for the gate across the road:

We stopped when the packed in trail became too indistinct and we started going boot-top to knee deep with every step.
