The 2012-13 Colorado Ice Conditions Thread
|
It's about time to get this thread started. Vail seems to be shaping up well. The Dez is soaking wet. Seventh Tentacle and the Fang need some time. Spiral Staircase looked a bit desperate. But climbs like Cupcake corner, Amphibian, Redbull and Vodka, Hooded Cobra, and all the stuff on the right side of the amphitheater seem to be in! |

Ames isn't quite in, Bridalveil is still a bit wet, Smear o Fear is still a bit dry, the Stairway to Heaven could probably use some time to form up a little nicer, and I'd probably consider Mixed Emotions to be "thin but in". On a brighter note, avy conditions are excellent across the board! |

LMAO... I was all like, "No way, seriously!" and got a little excited... Thanks Noah! ;) |
|
Haha awesome |
|
Anyone heard any "projections" for snowfall this year as long as we are speculating? |
|

love it!!! I look forward to this thread all summer. Rifle is a bit wet might be a scary lead but I hope to see some good ice in the next 4 1/2 months or so. |
|
Anyone interested in Vail Sunday? (seriously) |
|
This is a hilarious thread. I'm glad I'm not alone in the excitement for ice. |

Man we need some moisture soon. I've only lived here for 6+ years, but I've never seen the mountains so dry and barren like before. There is minimal to be found. |

While you guys are getting ready for the season, here's an old GI Joe PSA on ice safety you all should watch: |
