Normally when there is wind in January, its below zero. Two days of 60mph gusts and its 65 degrees. WTF? Even for this state this is weird.

I've spent most of my season over there, if you stick to the sides of the runs there's ok snow, and you can dip into the trees, but it's still pretty sketch....
I grew up in Dup P, Jane is deff the way to go.. And I know ALL of the secret spots on the Jane Waist deep flufffffff almost all season if you know where to look. Cooper is always a blast.. loved it when I was on the WP snowboard team.. they always had the sickest setups and the biggest Rail yards Ive seen.

Haha, awesome. I'll PM you my number if you wanna make some turns with me and my friend. We'll prolly be there first chair to last-ish. This season we've been hanging out in the green area cause the beginners don't touch half the snow available to em... Just cruisin around but like I said, happy to make a few turns wherever.

Holy hell it got windy about noon. I love living 20 minutes away and having a pass. I can go for half a day and not worry about staying all day to get my money's worth. Earlier on though it was nice and sunny though.

Does anyone know around what time of year does the trails around ouray start to close? Or is it just dependent on the snow?

If this were a good analogy then Colorado weather would be 100% predictable by any weather-person .

Did a new rear main seal/oil pan & valvle cover gasket b/c I thought my rear main was leaking ,and that job was easy and leak free...however 2 days after the repair I'm runnining it hard and smell ATF and start crop dusting ...well turns out my torque converter seal is leaking ,which I assume is from running hot with no cooler for awhile ,so now I get to pull the trans and replace the t/c seal ...I'm not sure if I'll replace the seal and put in the built hd converter I never used when I installed this trans or get another low mile trans and put it on that since I have run this Aw4 hot many times ...Hmmmmmm .
