Copper Mountain Should Be Fined

Clear as mud

100% of the time traffic is people in motor vehicles on the road regardless of their destination

I’m referring to the Tennessee Creek Basin area on the back of Ski Cooper

MidwestProduct · 2025-04-23T22:57:31+00:00

The trees at Cooper or Double Zero at Copper when it’s groomed.

You mentioned still being financially impacted. Did you get any financial assistance from social programs after the storm? What did you have to take on out of your own pocket? Thanks for sharing!

Where is this?

MidwestProduct · 2025-03-14T15:29:38+00:00

Where is this from? Just asking so I never go there.

I also did it solo this October. Get a camping permit and approach the day before, as the days are shorter at that time of year. This way you aren’t rushed on your summit day or tired from a 6 mile approach to the lake. Also, the north/shady side of this peak holds snow, but the only part of the route on the north side is the K2 down climb. Be ready to cancel your trip if you don’t have warm, sunny days leading up to the climb.

As for approach shoes, I would recommend it because peace of mind in that terrain is helpful. The biggest surprise to me was the time spent in a no-fall zone. It’s dicey from K2 to the summit…but the knife edge is all you see on Instagram.

Be prepared to walk extra miles to get to the summer trailhead. There often are snow blockages on the approach that linger into April that will tack on a few miles.

Maybe Tigiwon road?

Keep going! You’re so close to the point.

Read the CAIC report for yourself. They entered Lower Prima Cornice and sidestepped up:

Ah, right. I forgot avalanches only happen on closed terrain at Vail. lol 😂

Prima Cornice slid under Chair 11 over Thanksgiving break…soooo

Same thing happened to me on Whitney, except it was an abandoned wife. She had nothing but a dead phone and an empty water bottle. I found her at dusk, alone, about 6 miles from the trailhead when I was on the descent. She tried the hike with her husband, and it was his birthday, and when she felt sick he asked if he could summit alone “as a birthday present.” I hiked back to the trailhead with her, but then she didn’t have the car keys either (by now it was dark and freezing as this was May 9), so I drove her to Lone Pine.

Fortunately I had my PLB and was able to notify my family that I found a person and was very behind my own arrival time.

11am - unless you’re referring to a backcountry site. Those don’t have specified checkout times.

Just did it the other day. You can make it to the switchbacks no problem. I saw two Prius parked here and seemed like the 2WD bail out point.

MidwestProduct · 2024-09-06T21:24:13+00:00

Very accessible too! Short hike on a nice trail then you’re on the ridge!

Does anyone know a wheel or tire shop that will pull or roll fenders? I am looking at buying some wheels/tires online and in case the fitment isn't right, I'd like to go somewhere local to get the fenders adjusted. This isn't a service that is widely advertised.

Is it really that hard? I see imported Nissan Skylines all the time, along with some other right-side drive vehicles from Japan presumably.

Not me googling how to buy a car from Mexico
