Ophir Pass was temporarily closed, now reopened

Apparently a rockslide on the Ophir side (looks like down below treeline, so not on the narrow part) closed the pass this morning:

I know there's a couple of avy chutes along there, including just before you come out of the trees onto the narrow section. From the picture I'm guessing it's one of those.

 

SOB. Between this and Schofield my style is being seriously cramped.

 

Schofield has been repaired and reopened now if you didn't know.

And as expected, Ophir has been cleared and reopened as of this afternoon. I figured the county would be pretty quick about getting it taken care of.

I didn't know, last I heard they didn't have a timeline and had only opened it up through Crystal. Thanks for the heads up!
