Has anybody checked out Red & White since this last run of storms?
Red & White Anyone?
- Thread starter wart
- Start date
Thanks!!!
Headin' somewhere on Saturday, we ain't got squat down South...VP is closer but not sure what would be better. Where is Muddy Pass Road? We usually access R&W just North of Vail where the snowmobile rental people have their trailer just past the gate. I'm afraid if there is not enough snow and the gate is closed we are hosed.

You're talking about red sandstone off the north frontage road. I'm heading there next week to check it out, should be good by then if not already. I was up at VP on monday after another storm and there is bottomless snow in spots, had to break through to ptarmigan and ended up turning around... Last night should have brought another 8" or so and things are looking good!
Thanks!!!

The gates open!

Oh, and R/W is good to go. I heard 3 feet too. I would stay away from the Beaver Ponds for now until it settles more. Getting stuck in there is no fun at all.
Muddy Pass - Go past Vail, Avon and Edwards. Take the Wolcott exit and head north on 131 for 3-4 miles. On the right side you'll see a turnoff for the dump. Don't take that. Take the very next right turn and that is Muddy Pass road. In the summer (and winter) you can take that road all the way to Red Sandstone road and Vail. Parking is better there and there is a lot more terrain that people do not frequent.
Thanks for all the updates guys!!
Yes, Red Sandstone Road, that's it.
The snow in my neck-of-the-woods is lackin' badly.
It'll come though....if you guys ever want to venture South/South Central I'd be glad to assist.
