A good start.

Vail Mountain got about 8" out of this storm since last night. And that's only at ~11,000ft.
Be careful, man.

Not something I would do right now. I can't think of anyone that would recommend that line right now. Wait until spring.

I climbed it yesterday, I did summit but it was stupid....
The storm rolled in and had very hard conditions, and almost spent the night in the woods.
