This one's closer to our surroundings


Offroadaz said some CO got more snow a couple days ago.
1 month left for Black Bear and Imogene to lose it or they'll still be closed

His update on Trails:

Imogene was nearly cleared for traffic, they had about a 300 foot section that still needed to be cleared and maybe some more further on up.

Black bear was nowhere near clear.

Engineer was clear. Cinnamon looked to be clear.

corkscrew gulch, california and hurricane pass were clear, because they had cut massive snow cuts out to drive through.

County road 31 was clear.

I do not know if Stony Pass or Ophir pass were clear.

These pics make me excited!

[Skatchkins]

Yeah.... those pics are AWESOME!
