Roger that

I'd go for a deluxe cabin if one becomes available.

Added to the waitlist

 

[ryaneddy16]

Idk if I'll make it this year. I'm focusing on getting my 60 back on the road this year

 

[CruiserTrash]

I hate to say it but a lot of locals keep giving me that same rumor. From what I keep hearing, Telluride doesn't care if they ever get it back open and don't like people coming into town anyway.

I have heard that regarding Black Bear as well, but the Telluride authorities don't seem to as active trying to shut down (or not open) Imogene Pass, which is jurisdictionally similar (both have one foot in Telluride). I feel like I'm missing a puzzle piece here.

it's the "ass clown" sheriff...

Agreed that the "ass clown" was in the wrong in the 4Runner, but OPEN the dang road!

It should take more than just the sheriff to "close" a road, right?

In online post, Colorado sheriff warns 'complete ass clowns' to not drive up Black Bear Pass

The thrill of Black Bear Pass attracts adventurous drivers every year, but a county sheriff had snide remarks for the irresponsible drivers who became stuck on the pass, labeling them "ass clowns."

Because it doesn't require as much expensive and extensive cleanup that BB always requires with avalanches and rock slides.

Just my $.02 and there could be other (real) reasons, those are just the rumors I have heard.

 

[mesa man]

Little bias opinion there don't you think? Lol
Just kidding man. That article is bad ass and is an awesome read about this event!

Did I say “article”? I meant event!

 

[ThatKOAGuy]

Just a reminder.....

I am going through my reservations for the date range of SAS8, August 4-August 10, 2024. Many of you have reservations but they aren't linked to the group and you aren't getting the discounts everyone else is. If you haven't talked to me in the last few days please shoot me a DM with your reservation number so I can make sure you are listed under SAS8.

Thanks

Also people aren't rolling down the side of Imogene. Black Bear has a couple "ass clowns" every year.

2 more cents: I also think Black Bear is THE pass. Even when I didn't know what it meant to be "off road", I still heard the tall tales of Black Bear Pass. Just a guess, but along with what @ThatKOAGuy guy said, I imagine Imogene might not get the traffic/doesn't have the notoriety of Black Bear. Might be fewer Yik-Yaks (as we call them in Indiana) and more responsible trail people tackling Imogene vs Black Bear as well.

 

[Zjohnsonua]

The fun part of BB for me is the section above the waterfall. I really wish that portion could be opened to two-way traffic.

DMed, can't break away from work for a call for a while. Thank you!

BB certainly has a higher profile so you might be right!

Technically? No.

As much as I don’t like it, that’s exactly the right position.

 

[SchobTime]

My wife and I will coming back from the Rubicon and will be running the San Juan trails that Thurs-Sat (8/8-8/10). We will keep an eye open for you all. Cheers

@RocketCityCrzrs, @Cruiserhiggs, @raisinhell2, @samc2447,
I am looking for a Harrop/Eaton E-locker (P/N 14212-1) for my 61. I just wanted to ask in here to see if any of the sponsors sell these. If not does anyone have a recommendation on where to get one from? Thanks!
