Haven’t been up there yet, news is it’s still supposed to open tomorrow PM. We are very excited to backcountry ski up there Friday. Photos:
The sign as it was yesterday, May 25 2011, CDOT photo presumably taken while they were up there plowing. Apparently the snowpack is something like 200 percent of normal. Even 'normal' is good, so this is amazing.
The sign as it is once the snow settles and melts a bit, this taken a few years ago around this time of year.
