That's the first thing that popped into my mind when I heard about it. I have a really low tolerance for road walking...

Stats for his start an hour ago toward Capitol. Fingers crossed for the weather over the next few days.

Dan's short stop last night at the Snowmass Creek TH has my mind racing as to what his plan is to tackle Snowmass. Maybe he just decided a shorter day up Capitol with possibility of weather is a better option today than Snowmass.

The weather is looking promising for that area today.

Based on his strava:

I suspect he left an e-bike over at Snowmass Creek for the commute back to his van after he finishes snowmass. It's pretty slick planning.

I saw that detour last night as well and couldn't figure it out. That is awesome

New summit house, maybe they fixed the fridge. Nevertheless, good advice.
