I'll probably "be like Mike" and so I'm willing to meet up around the Springs area. I'm waiting on new tires (6-8 weeks for BFG TA KOs, WTF?), so I'm running pretty well worn ones right now for trail bashing.
(A) Buena Vista area
---- Iron Chest Trail
---- Wheeler lake Trail
---- Red Cone Trail
---- Slaughterhouse Trail
(B) I-70 area WAY west of Denver
---- Lead King/Crystal Mill trail
---- Jenny Creek Trail
(C) Colorado Springs/Woodland Park area
---- Saran Wrap Trail
---- China Wall Trail
I CAN'T go at all

Depending on weather, this storm is supposed to be a good one for the area.. I don't have tires that will do well in snow (AVS = good on street, sux on snow!).. We'll know more during Wednesday.. Very unpredicable at this point.

ok guys well things are looking up for my getting there...my coworker is gonna cover for me all weekend. (she said she wanted more hours)...and if its snowy weather looks like i need to get my snow tires on for the trip because the current ones are bald, on top of them being really really crappy... hey i was also curious if i could bring a friend on this trip? (both in my car or in his own?)

The tire delay is courtesy of Discount Tire (Woodmen and Powers in the Springs). Might have to check out Sears. Thanks for the advice.
Super VXer
Wish I could make it but then you guys are not gonna need new tires you are gonna need chains! These are some of my favorite trails but with as much snow as they are calling for...

Sears will price match discount tire (or any tire place) so if they have them.. you'll be able to pay the same price or lower if sears is already lower. Good Luck...

I'm all for still getting together, even if we don't get to do any wheelin'. If it does snow a lot, they may close Independence Pass, so I would need to get to you guys through Denver (or if anyone knows a quicker way let me know). Guess we'll just wait until Thursday morning to see how it goes. We've already gotten an inch or two of snow here in Basalt, so I can only imagine that it's much more at the higher elevations.

AAARRRGGGHHHH! (Beej tribute). Here I sit in a Denver parking lot in my hideously dirty VX (the passes were messy this morning), and as much as I love you guys (I REALLY do), I can't hang around for just lunch.
I'm diggin this completely wireless broadband aircard setup from Verizon. Can surf vehicross.info from the car!
My plan is to pout all the way back over the passes tonight about midnight.
See you in the next life!!!!!!!!...or whatever.

AAAARRRRGGGHHHH too. I may in Bim's shoes (not literally, because who could really fill those shoes but Bim). Since it's taken us so long to figure out if/where we were going to get together or not, I don't think I'll be able to find anyone to watch the dogs for me. I know I can bring them, but I also don't really want to pile the miles on my baby. I just went to Moab last weekend, and I have a feeling that Independence Pass will be closed this weekend (with all the supposed snow coming) and the long way around to the Springs is just a little too long.
Beeg and I had talked about a winter get together to do some skiing/boarding this season. I know MorganTec and the Kid got together some last season, so I'd like to get in on that this season.
I'll miss you guys, but I'll be thinking of you and looking forward to the next family reunion.
