Update/advertisement:
We rode up at Irwin today - and it's mostly untracked with about 2-4' of fresh on top of last week's storm. Base is 12-16' (yes, feet).
We ran in fresh 3' pow all day, and really never crossed our own tracks. Broke trail up to the townsite this morning, and except for the big structures, everything was buried. The townsite shed is almost completely under.
There's an amazing amount of snow - 25year epic.
1984 was the last year like this, and 1993 doesn't even come close now.
Many of the houses up at Irwin simply do not have 1st floors, and some are missing part of their second floors or gables.
A few cabins are completely gone.
Crested Butte's downtown has 7'-10' base in the town proper, and that's 2k feet lower.
If you can make it down here it's well worth the extra effort.

skill level of riders
Its looking like we might be able to all ride as one group, is everyone thats attending a pretty good rider, and on a powder sled? I'm trying to figure out a list of good places to hit, and where to do some fun climbs without getting into avy trouble.

"pretty good" = stupid enough to try things but usually ends up getting stuck?
Yup.
Reworked the steering a bit tonight, pulled it back a few inches and tightened it up... feels 100x better than the hose clamps i dealt with before... should hold up till i get the timbersled order in.

Chad, sorry that you have to split on sunday. Is anyone sticking around for a monday ride? I would suggest hitting Donitas or perhaps the Ensanada grill on sunday night.
The avy center is saying that the safest slopes are the west facing ones. The only climbs that come to mind that are west facing are the ones in Robinson basin and the back side of axtell.
Has anyone broken trail up the top of axtell?, that can be a bit epic getting through the trees.
Also, I have extra sled registrations for anyone that shows up without one.
Who is staying in Gunni, and who is staying in the butte?

That is way cool JM...... Hope I win that... Always wanted to jump out of a perfectly running air plane
Rode Black Mesa on Sunday. There is alot of snow, however it is setting up quickly. As you know, it is a big area. It is easy to get lost out there. Beleive me I know
. It is 38 miles from town. About 50 minutes to the trailhead. Only about 5 rigs will fit in the parking lot.The lodge is great, full bar and good food.
Oh yea, I would suggest bringing extra gas. The lodge has none
Black Mesa Lodge was nice, great folks at the lodge, good food, etc... We had to ride about 20mi back to find some hills and stuff to mess around on - but the rest of it that I saw was flat as a board. People were either running out of gas, or carrying jerry-cans. It'd be fun after a storm, but if you're driving out here to ride mountains, you might find more interesting terrain at Irwin/Cement Creek/Taylor Park/Washington Gulch/Pitkin/Lake City, etc... I'm not sure about Arrowhead - never ridden there.
The sun came out Sunday and today and got really warm.
A few faces went down this morning, but nothing that we ride from what I can see from town. Poverty Gulch/Daisy Pass went last week.
Another $00.025 spent.

Hey guys Im ready to go this weekend. Joe Mama and I are ok with going out on sunday to any place. I have heard that Mario's Pizza is good too. Has any one tried it?
Marios is an icon. Their regular pizza is pretty good. Their Chicago style is out of this world. There is also Piezan's Pizza, it is also great pizza. Both have beer and wine. Draft beer at Marios.
W-Cafe is my favorite breakfast place. Huge portions, great food, but it is a bit spending for breakfast.
Gotta go I'm getting hungry
