The End of an Era...We are Shutting Down the Messageboard

The messageboard is now in read-only mode and no new posts or topics can be created. We will leave the messageboard up for historical purposes, but you will not be able to make new posts or comment on existing ones.

We have started a Discord server and hope that you all will join us on there. Technology has changed over the years and maintaining the messageboard has become somewhat of a pain in the butt and Discord offers many features for users, the main one being a very polished mobile app.

We really hope you all will join us on Discord and think you will like the platform. Use the invite link below to join.

3 Cat Patrollers end the season in Southern Colorado. Great skiing but the hiking is tough above 12,000 feet

Unfortunately, got altitude sickness after only two runs. Prior day at Wolf Creek no problems. Here are some more photos



San Juans come into view





First day at Wolf Creek







Farming the left over 12" of snow left over two days prior, beautiful glades off the Alberta chair, saw maybe 6 people over here the whole day.









At Silverton, last time I would smile for two days

Got to take pics the next day nursing my monster headache while Gordon and Brent skied Silverton again

Gordon and Brent ready to hike











Town of Silverton







Montrose Airport, where we got to sit on the plane 4 1/2 hours waiting for a mechanic and engine parts. Allowed me to miss my connection in Atlanta. Thanks to Gordon for putting me up over night. Not my finest trip but good times with good friends
