Caught the Bug
Anyone want to go out this weekend? I'm pretty stock so I have to keep it pretty mild, but I'd love to get out in something not too far in the high country that's still accessible. Thoughts?
 
Thinking about going out Saturday, maybe Slaughterhouse Gulch.

Wish I could go with you guys. I am heading out for the kick off run. Keep me posted when you guys want to plan a fun run. They reopened Old Stage Road down here in the springs and there is a fun chunk of a trail system down there.
 
If you would allow a ZJ to join I would join and I'm pretty stock as well but I think the areas around Lyons don't have tons of snow its saying around 8-12 inch as of this morning. But I would be down to go around boulder Nederland area too.

There's always bright trail (forest roads 330.1, 330.2b and 330.2c) which isn't to difficult during the summer but I have a feeling that some of the steep climbs would be much more difficult in the snow and then also 330.2b does get decently gnarly near its end point. Any other suggestions?
 
I've never run Slaughterhouse Gulch, but some other wheelers I spoke with say it fun in the snow, but there can be a lot of winching. With that being said, I am most likely going to run Illinois Gulch/Missouri Gulch. I have a couple of others that are going to join me on the run.

Here is a link to a trail report in snow. It is not a difficult trail but should be fun in the snow.

Most likely will meet at the Cabelas in Lone Tree at 8:30 and roll out through Deckers to Hwy 67.
