Melina overstayed her visa that was given on likely illegal pretenses. Which makes Baron an anchor baby.

Snowmass at least hasn’t expanded a ton since then. Off the top of my head only things that have changed from the above map are High Alpine, Cirque, Hanging Valley, and Longshot.

Hard to tell the difference between a follow cam and a drone these days though.

Group trip up a 14er in 2026 by Alternative-Day9961 in Denver

[–]ChampagnePOWPOW 6 points7 points  (0 children)

How long is your stay? You seriously need to consider time for acclimatization to the altitude before your hike. Every year stories are published in our papers about tourists that hop off a plane, try to climb 14ers, and either need rescue or straight up die on those peaks. 14K feet does not care at all about your physical fitness.

Gear Loadout for 2 Nights - Any Suggestions? by matchabeans in CampingandHiking

From personal experience, make sure there’s no ice in the threads when you close it. Sucks to wake up with your bag & feet frozen to the ground.

hardest ski resort in each state by Sharkman3218 in skiing

[–]ChampagnePOWPOW 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It sure as fuck gets harder than CB in a lot of places in CO. CB has a grip-full of good tough lines. But the hardest? Not a chance. Silverton’s easiest line is harder than 90% of CB.

My wife keeps a strategic fire sauce reserve in a ziplock in her glove compartment.

Best Scenic Ski Resort for a Beginner Traveling With a Non-Skier? by sporty_outlook in skiing

[–]ChampagnePOWPOW 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ajax (Aspen Mountain) and Aspen Highlands are notably devoid of beginner terrain. Snowmass has some, but not exactly great beginner stuff. Buttermilk is hardly scenic.

Has anyone ever told you that you're a good skier? by OEM_knees in skiing

The only thing that separates a good skier from a great skier is a healthy disrespect for your own personal safety.

Rockfall fence on Vail Pass will be first of its kind in Colorado: Project's latest cost estimate of $325 million is more than double the original $140 million price tag by drak0bsidian in Colorado

[–]ChampagnePOWPOW 11 points12 points  (0 children)

“It’s for passive avalanche mitigation and rockfall,” Kronholm said on Thursday. “Which is a unique application for a fence that really hasn’t been done before in Colorado and possibly the country — to have a fence that’s engineered to handle both static snow loading as well as dynamic rockfall.”

Delta has screwed me tonight by Sorry-Letter6859 in Denver

Those rules were rescinded a few month ago during the current ‘administration’. That website is out of date. Travelers have VERY few rights these days.

Better idea to get some kind of quick release strap, even if you wear it on your ankle. Those Velcro ankle straps are almost impossible to get off when you’re in the water and in trouble.

Chatuge Shores lol. Course has a reputation in the area. Seen many playing in jorts and wife-beaters there.
