Where to go In SW Colorado

Anyone got sugestions for best mountain riding in southwestern CO? The trip to Wyoming/Montana is brutal from here in Arizona.

Heard Cumbres Pass area is nice. Gunnison/Irwin Pass is a little farther, but probably have better luck with snow there.

Cumbres Pass is great riding. Tons of snow right now. Stay in Chama, NM. About a 30min drive up from there. Hopewell area is also about 30 min from Chama, go S to hwy 64, go E until the road closes. Not as deep as Cumbres and Wolf Creek, but still good.
I'm sure Silverton has good snow as well, but I'm not familiar with it.

Southern Utah, E of Cedar City is good riding as well. Stay in Duck Creek Village, about 20 min to the hill. Only problem is it's about 8hrs from Phx by the time you go around Grand Canyon.

Chama, Cumbras, Wolf Creek. South Fork. Snow in Chama I heard is crap, but it was really good early season. Wolf Creek snow is looking good. I might have to head down that way myself.
