All things Colorado

[Tanktitan]

I drove thru Winter Park on September 23 and it already snowing.



It would seem that it is well named. They must have 9 months of winter.

I'm torn between wanting to spend time in Co in the Summer or this tome of year when it starts to snow. Both seem to be awesome.

More off-road Jeeping in the summer, but scenery pavement time year round.

Yes, and for another perspective of winter in Colorado, if you are fit and in shape, check out the ski slopes. Just know, it is also very addictive, as each time will be more enjoyable as your skills improve. And before you know it, it is time to hit the trails again in the Jeep! Key word here, "fit" and in shape!

And be willing to deal with the crowds and traffic

13,000ft off road passes in the summer and snow asshole deep to a giraffe in the winter. This is one of the best states to own a JK. Forbes Magazine can KMA!

I used to resemble that when I lived in Utah and was skiing all winter...

guys at the lifts used to ask me if I worked lol...I always tried to catch and early run before work when possible.

Now I make noises that make me do a double take getting in and out of the Jeep!!! :doh::naw::icon_crazy:

For any of you who locals who have not driven up to Winter Park during a snow storm, it's a must. We try to do it once a year. One of the prettiest parts of the state IMO. Funny thing is, we expected roads to be dry today, Nope. At least we got up there during a mild time of year instead of January. We did get some sunshine by Shadow Mountain Lake for lunch though, but it was still in the 20s.

Past Canon. There was a gorgeous creek at the bottom a few trout fishing.

They just closed most of the gates this week for the local trails. Seems like they stayed open longer this year. It's been pretty mild up there.

I was about 10 minutes from this exact location today when this happened. And we were out of our Jeep a lot today. Stay safe out there.
