Alpine Loop (08/31-09/05)

It's says they are open because they are open...

 

I clicked the FS page link you posted right before/as I posted that. It said that Blackbear, Imogene, and Ophir were closed. It now says they're open, and the updated date has changed from the 30th to today. Obviously they've updated it in the last couple of hours.

 

I can confirm the same thing

 

And it will change again maybe even tomorrow as we are forecast for lots of rain tonight which could be snow in some places. It's going to be bluebird Monday...one thing is for sure I'm glad school is in session and most the tourons are gone. Two weeks ago or transitioned into hunters and a few hold outs. We are wearing shorts still and there's plenty to do have fun.

 

Which is probably the most important thing for any non-local/Coloradoan to take away from this - shit up there can change in a hurry, and things can close while you're on them. One of the things I love most about this state, I've gone from freezing my ass off in three layers and ten foot visibility to roasting in shorts and a tshirt in the space of two hours on multiple occasions.

 

Crap guys, we have too many moving here. Tell them is the start of the 9 months of Blizzards!

 

Bingo.....says the guy who probably moved here too from somewhere else.

 

yep in 2000, it was my response to Y2K
