REI Dividend Coming, Yeah Baby!
LIV says:
Wow I must have spent a bunch last year at REI.

Kelso Ridge SAR and related question
ColoradoSherpa says:
I had the same experience at the saddle between Grays and Torreys after climbing the Kelso Ridge. I stood there looking at Grays which was so close, but I just didn't have the steam to pull it off. I'll have to go back and climb grays some time, but that's ok by me. Just one more reason to get out and enjoy the high country.

La Sal GPX files

Suggestion for LW rain pants
saxmotor says:
I have a pair of lightweight rain pants that I split the sides and sewed a full length zipper on. Work great and a big time money saver.

Cinnamon Pass
PKelley says:
I echo that you will be fine on either Cinnamon or Engineer Pass with your Toyota. Just make sure that you drive through Silverton on your way to try either one. Do not try the cut-off several miles south of Ouray. It takes longer than going through Silverton, and is not worth the wear and tear on your vehicle. Take the Silverton path and decide which way you want to go once you get to Animas Forks. Cinnamon pass is about 25-35 minutes faster than Engineer Pass when traveling to Lake City. Have fun and be safe. Feel free to contact me with questions, as I drive both of those passes dozens of times each year once they open.

Message to put on SPOT
BAUMGARA says:
"wncpisgah"  Glad to hear everyone is relatively happy with their SPOTs. I finally returned my first generation SPOT due to its unreliability -- at best 60% success rate at sending OK messages. And yes, I was following the right user procedures and wasted more than enough time reading FAQs and user accounts on what to do...what not to do.
I'm surprised, I've yet to have a problem with my 1st gen and I know I've probably sent well over 50 OK msgs.

Sangres Report

Any idea what the western aspects of the mountains along San Luis Valley are like?

Can hybrid cars make it up mountain roads?
anthonylebaron says:
I think you're asking more about hybrid sedans, but...

I rode up the S. Colony Lakes road in a Ford Escape Hybrid a couple summers ago and it worked very well.

FloridaBoy's First Climb
FloridaBoy says:
I really appreciate all the great advice in response to my question. I'm looking forward to hitting the trail this summer and will train hard using many of the suggested tips. Additionally, I will surely acclimate for a few days prior starting. Thanks !

Quandray ski conditions
jtdudley says:
Climbed to ~13,000' today (Sunday March 14). The winter storm advisory did not let me down. Howling winds and lots of snow. 4-6 inches fell in the 4 hours I was up there. Lower bowl had some good powder over crust turns with a few signs of instability (no whoopfing, but poor stability results with pit compression tests). Was able to ski cleanly back to the car through the lower bowl and the mellow glades. I was unable to see the upper bowl due to blowing snow and often white-out conditions but I would assume a fair amount of snow was deposited in the bowl from the sky and from the wind. Be conservative with route selections right now due to new drifted snow over the crust layers. No pictures, sorry.

Also, lost a cell phone up there today. I assume it fell out at the TH and got covered in snow. I don't have much hope for finding it, but figure I would post I lost it if it turns up in the spring.

March 17, 18, or 19
Yikes says:
im planning on one more, either thurs or friday. depending on snow conditions of course. hopefully something not horribly difficult...

Wolverine in the Sierras!

LADIES: HELP WITH FAVE SOFTSHELL PANTS
ketel1 says:
Baron-thank you!!! The Mammut Nimba styling, fabric and features look exactly like what I want.The only place I could find them in tall was from Mammut's own site, as they are sold out (as are most sizes in Nimba) from the major outdoor online retailers I checked. I bought 2 sizes, as I have never tried them before. I will let you know how it goes~

Grizzly Peak Snow Conditions
sunny1 says:
I headed up to Sniktau today - some intermittent postholing along the ridge, but mostly hard wind-slab with sugary snow beneath.
No need for snowshoes that way, microspikes were handy though, would expect similar conditions over toward Cupid and Grizzly.

How studs train
gsliva says:
I have the secret to training.

Start out slow and then back off.

Stud? It depends on the sport. I believe it's mental and physical. Viesturs would have to be in that group of studs. Kona Ironman top 10 also.

Never Summer Revolver vs. Custom X
cvrti5 says:
This season I bought a Never Summer Premier F1-R (163 cm). Great board. It eats most of the chatter at high speeds. It flexes decently. It holds an edge really well. From what little pow we've had, it floats well. Oh, and it turns easily. And going down steep moguls is also not a problem.

Camping near Salida this weekend?
madbuck says:
"MUni Rider"  If you plan on camping anywhere in the Salida area right now, you better like snow and/or cold air and/or wind. Less snow in town, but that's not where the camping is. You may be able to camp at Rincon campground down the river, but that's sandwiched between the highway and the river. Good luck sleeping next to passing 18-wheelers all night.

Based on this and a similar recommendation, slept dandy enough in the car just east of town, in the big public pullout/camping area next to the RV. Probably a zoo in the summer (I'm not a boatman), but perfect for my goal of just sleeping somewhere before the marathon, nobody else there in March. Warm enough today to run shirtless, but plenty of slop and snow to deal with. Good times!

Elk conditions
Kiefer says:
Chase,
You were reading my mind! Elks! But I have since picked up a couple shifts at work, so I'm out for your duration here in the valley.
Unless, you don't mind a day trip on Wednesday?
It's nothing technical but I'm keen on getting Missouri or Ox/Bel.
Steph is in town till Tuesday. Call or stop over. We'll hit Garf's.

Uncompahgre Peak
nordberg says:
You can drive up the county maintained road to the turn off at Nellie Creek. There is no maintenance on the four miles up to the trail head. I was up there on snowshoes as far as the falls to photograph it the other day.
Typical, crust in the early morning that would more or less support a person but then softening as the day wears on. With a pack and all snowshoes would be necessary.
Weather has been very nice. Usual front to the west promises snow tomorrow at the seventy per cent level.
If you need assistance I'm at 944-2917 in LC
Good luck.
N.
