70 is already closed and not supposed to open until Monday.
No it's not. Just one of many examples: https://cotrip.org/map.htm#/default?Str ... raId=10908

I've got a friend that lives a few blocks from South Table, we might try to get a snowboard descent of it. :lol:
The trail just to the north of the G is the best spot, few rocks, more grass than the rest of the mesa. I hit it in 2016 and 2017 with smaller snow totals without hitting too many rocks

Is that run called the "G-spot"?

I'm old, slow and fat. Unfortunately, those are my good qualities.

So your gonna put in the trench up Green? Sweet! Hoping to slide down it at some point during the storm.

Only the coffee shop is a given. If that happpens, I’ll move the high point to Sanitas. Then perhaps Green (in Boulder). I’ll probably be bringing sleep gear just in case. I know a few caves 🤪
