Vail snow report June 16

End of the road for today.

Whoah, there is still a little snow high up! Friend Dirk Johnson and I tried to get to the good single track trails today up on Red and White after work today. We didn't even get close. We need another 10 days or so and even then we'll have to plow through some snow. We could see that it just got deeper the further we got in. We were at about 10,400 feet at this point. Al Gore would have been proud. We were on clean burning four strokes, just like Al Gore's Jet ski. We saw 6+ Elk in the woods on our way down. We couldn't see how big of a herd as they were pretty deep in the woods.

Further in the woods there was over a meter of snow. Probably 4 feet in a few places.

Oops, Chris went over the handle bars when he hit this snow pile.

We had to dig out the front tire here. Bring your shovels!
