February sounds good to me.
Sounds good to me too.
It will give me some time to shed some pounds that have been packed on by the holiday feasts.
knowing me, it will give me extra time to put on more pounds. One of these days, I'll have to put a lock on the refridgerator.

Like most chutes in mid winter, Sopris is not a place to be skiing chutes mid season or anywhere else for that matter... Definitely a Late spring ski jaunt.. The Thomas Lakes Bowl is the safest, has the easiest lines down Sopris IMO..

Are these chutes in? I'm looking for something to ski this weekend.

Anyway, it would be nice if we could find out if the road is open year round.

FWIW the Prince Creek Road is usually closed in the winter part way up below the top of the Crown or at the turn off for Dinkle Lake.
