I was going to ask about ride in/out sledding from their property

 

[CANNONMAN]

There is none, they are a small motel on the edge of Cedaredge. All brown down there at 5500 ft! Best off coming to the top for the good stuff.

is Dizz, shopping around for spohurers?....in reality, tho...you can unload at "old grand mesa road" 1/2 the distance to the VC if staying in Cedaredge.

I think its the difference of +/- 6 miles....only problem just like on top.......CDOT isn't plowing that trailhead so parking is zero.

Mark is just trying to corner the market on the mesa, its no secret!! ...

 

[CANNONMAN]

Old Grand Mesa road trailhead is closed this year due to logging operations. I have been told they will not be plowing that very small parking lot this year, so there is no parking there at all, and they won't let you park on the highway. Haven't been by there in a couple of weeks, been moving snow instead. It is sunny this am and should set this last powder up nicely.
