Buena Vista??

[JGrund85]

Going to Buena Vista tomorrow. Any good trails in this area I should look at? anything that would be open?

[mtntj]

Alot of trails, what are you looking for? You'll have to stay on the east side of the valley.

[JGrund85]

looking for anything really, some moderate short stuff. I'll be working off and on throughout the day but will have a few long breaks. Just looking for some hourish long runs round trip or shorter.

Just some fun stuff to play and crawl on.

[mtntj]

Time frame limits your choices. If your working in town or out of town. Your best bet will be to ask whom ever your working for what is open, and close by. What part of that are will you be in?

[lvbrian2008]

very little will be open this year in the bv area due to all of the snow we recieved this year

[ni0h]

Even Chinamans&Carnage are closed. You might be able to drive up chalk creek to the entrance of Iron Chest, maybe even the first few hundred yards of TinCup.

Realistically, it's possible that they've plowed Mt. Princeton road. No challenges, but at least you can get high.

[mtntj]

When did Mt. Princeton rd start getting plowed:shrug: , Hancock Pass. won't be plowed from the county rd. doubtful you can get to Iron Chest.

There is a scenic viewpoint road up 285 just past the koa campground. It will link up to a lot of roads further in. Not sure what it will be like as far as snow but you can let us know. If you make the correct turns you can end up on the other end of BV by the railroad tunnels, which are closed due to a collapse but you will be on the right side of them to get back to town.


Edit:too late?

[mtntj]

I thought the tunnels were open a few weeks back?

[JGrund85]

I hadn't heard that but I hope so. I know someone who lives on the north side of them. They have been driving a long detour all winter.

Any word on when the road to Chinaman's Gulch/Carnage going to be open?

[mtntj]

OCG, I called earlyer today, No one in the office to talk to. All out to lunch, the lady answering the phones had not heard anything new. And I didn't have time to call back.

Went snowmobileing up ther yesterday. Tincup loop is only open to sleds. Cumberland pass is covered in snow. Made fresh tracks over it. Lots of snow up there.

Still closed last night. (Sat march 29th)

[tantonio]

I think they're talking next weekend to reopen it.....depends on the weather etc...the issue being they don't want the access road hammered again like what happened last year...

[MAMA]

Anyone know if it has opened or will be open this weekend?

Thanks:)

[Tom N]

Still closed today, (Wed April 2nd). Looking pretty dry too.

[TearUmUpTim]
