Apparently CDOT got to the top of Ophir Pass 23’ deep.

Woah!!!!

I was able to sign up for one BBP spot on Thursday but my brother was not able to because it filled up. We’d like to do black bear together if an opportunity comes up.

Ophir is like Tateyama, Japan

I'm going to lead a Porphyry Gulch/Black Bear Pass/Imogene Pass run on Friday. Stay tuned.

San Miguel County opened Last Dollar Road yesterday.

I can't find an Ophir Pass picture on the county's accounts so I'm unsure where the previous one is from as CDOT is not responsible for these roads. Definitely looks like it could be the top of the pass though so

I posted that photo from ADVrider, probably the guys from SMC.

Just did a little reconnaissance mission yesterday Looks like it'll be totally doable, nothing to worry about we got this!

Awesome photos!!!!

Whatever melts or doesn't melt...I'm looking forward to a *different* experience with the snow (or post-snow) factors. Been to Ouray a number of times now, so going after the most snow in decades will definitely be a re-mix.

I've never seen 60+ 200's in one place, and I'm pretty sure no one in North America ever has, either.
Really looking forward to checking out the differences in builds, various new bumpers, suspensions, interiors, dogs, people, and wheeling with a bunch of new folks.

Question for the CO natives - I expect we're going to get some muddy/slushy conditions and will throw my Go Treds in the truck but would you recommend packing chains as well?

Yankee Boy is open per Ouray County.

With that much snow, chains are a Valid question, already packed my Maxtrax. But I really hope we won't have use Chains

 

[BTUMAN]

I don’t believe we will need chains if we stay in trail. I am pretty confident all trails will be open by end of July. If someone slips off trail we would most likely be in recover mode anyway and chains would be useless.

Oooo! Just got the waitlist email. Hope I can make it in for some runs with y'all this year.

I will be camping at KOA Ouray (just north of the town), stop by, maybe we can share a spot, they have showers and WIFI Instagram: @adventure.driven text me.

Sup guys, got my official invite today. I've already signed up for the below.


Yankee on Thursday
Black Bear #2 on Friday
There's three options left for Saturday (Alpine, Poughkeepsie, & Corckscrew) so I was as hoping some of the regulars could help guide me to which to sign up for.

This will be our first time to CO and first time to LCDC as well. Stock LC200 with 275 70 18, maybe ill jsut buy some sliders from Slee or other local company while I'm out there.

Being as we are just now being invited, I have yet to find camping/lodging. If anyone has space or knows of a place to camp send advice my way here or through PM. Anyone coming from Atlanta or Birmingham? Time to go back and reread this entire thread.

Glad you found a spot.
Ouray Challet Inn still has rooms that are not crazy expensive. Definitely not a fancy place, but adequate and dead center location In the tiny town.
