I got my call yesterday, so I can confirm they are making their way through the list.

Here’s the snow report for this morning. This picture is from Hinsdale County at 9,500 feet. It was -10°F this morning, with zero snow accumulation from the last storm. We’re not there at the moment, but it looks like there’s about eight inches of snowpack on the valley floor. It’s dry. Who else has a snow report to share?

For reference, this is Hermit Lakes, a hunting and fishing club between of Creede and Lake City. The peak to the left is just north of Stony Pass, which drops down into Silverton.

Bandit Rock sits a few miles from the fork in the road that leads to the back way into Hermit Lakes, a route closed in the 1990s for preservation. The faint paint markings on Bandit Rock might look like graffiti, but they are remnants from mining and supply store advertisements that served Creede and Silverton back in the Pony Express days. My grandpa always said that the rock got its name from thieves who would hide behind it to ambush the Pony Express and miners, looking to strike it rich with gold.

Salida, CO sitting at approximately 7000 ft. Current temp: 18, feels like 11. Wind gusts are freezing the snot in my nostrils. My boots say 3ish inches of snow with deeper drifts. Neither sleet, nor snow, nor dark of night or some $hit….

They have a long list to get through and there are only two employees making the calls, please be patient.
If they have issues reaching you, they’ll either let me know or try to message you here.
They did have some issues come up at the KOA that took priority over calling SASers. Like frozen/broken water pipes..
hang in there.

Thanks. Not trying to be a pain, just pinging the group.
Hangin’ in there.

And it looks like you are living up to the USPS tradition—the mail never stops! Burr

It's 8 here and "feels like" of -9, the wind ain't really bad now. Tomorrow's low is supposed to be -5 but at least only 15 mph wind. Took advantage of the sun yeaterday to put a dent in the ice on the driveway. Come August we'll be so glad to escape the humidity and heat . Gotta love the Midwest.

I’ve about worn mine out. I need to pick up a spare. USPS is hard on things.

Hoping to get this Pig up and running this year regardless if I attend as a registrant or a passenger this year..

Sweet ride!

It was -25 here this morning.... it has warmed up to -10 now.

Even the Dallas temp looks like a heat wave in comparison. lol.

Anybody else plan to roll topless/bikini top in their 40?
Done it once up there in late fall and it was amazing. Summer storms are what concerns me.

I did it last year with my homemade family style bikini top. Had a tarp, got dumped on a couple times.
I know a guy who can get you a killer deal on a soft top

Just be prepared for rain, hail, sleet, and snow.

….Possibly all on the same day.

It is shocking that your are just a little bit north of me, and it's so much colder. -13ºF here this morning, supposed to be -19ºF tonight I think.

And all at once.

…and make sure you are the trail leader…. All that trail dust can be brutal (from the guy that followed you for 2 days at SAS7. )
