Snow missed us at 6k ft., (per our home weather station slightly SE of Cheyenne)maybe the steady 30+ mph winds with gusts to 50+ since last night blew the precip right by us. 42 degrees right now. It was 70 and mild yesterday.
Although if Craig, CO is getting some, a little may make it over the mtns. to us. 50-50 chance?

I hope the snow will last for Ourray. I like Trailing in the Snow!
Actually, even though most of the main trails that will be used for 'official' runs will be clear (they usually plow the snow-slide area of Imogene before July 4th, because I'm there every year at that time), I know of some smaller, lesser used trails that may still have snow. I go check them out on occasion when we're there in July just for something different to do.
Ok, I'm extremely jealous now. Not nearly enough snow in Tennessee but did make a visit to both Utah and Colorado this year to play in the white stuff.
Hey Eagle Scout,
when I was in the LA area one time, my friend took me to Joshua Tree for the day and then we went up to spend the night in Big Bear.
It's CA, I know, but it was January and I recall ice patches in the parking lot, and it was snowing, and there was a lot of snow on the ground in the wooded areas.
I assume there isn't any snow left to play around in even up that high this late in the season, but do you ever get up there, and are there any cool off-roading trails in that area?
There are a lot of nifty Trails in Big Bear, I was actually just up there this past Sunday. Instead of Taking the Highway back down to the lower part of the Mountain, I actually took a Trail instead. At this Time of Year, there was still snow up there but only on the Dark sides of the mountains. None on the Trails though. There is a Fire look out post called Butler Peak/ Rim of the World where we can see 360 all over and on the Clear Days we can even see straight out to the Ocean. If you are ever back in the Area, let me know, I will take you to random places to go trailing. If you look in my Photo Gallery, there are some pictures from when I went to Big Bear.
Waiting for the snow to melt so I can plant. Got 2-5 inches in the valley last night. who knows how much in the mountains. Might have to start the sled up again. Been a few years since I have snowmobiled in May and June.
