The photos are from yesterday, 12-2-10. I wore spikes, though others were getting along fine without them.
Continued on to Barr and took the Incline back down. Gorgeous day.

Manitou Incline - Current Conditions
Conditions on the Incline are pretty good right now. Packed powder with gravel/dirt between ties in the shaded section below and the last pitch up top, with dry conditions through the mid-section.

Re: Manitou Incline - Current Conditions
Thanks for posting this. Coincidently, just a few hours ago as I was driving to work, I was manking mental plans to do the incline sometime Saturday. Now I know what to expect.
ps... Your Blanca photo looks great in my lving room. Thanks for all your had work! I'll be giving you a holler sometime later in the month when I get my act together and figure out what mountain pic to send to my fiancée. ---It will most likely be too late for Christmas, but I can just take it with when I fly out to see her in February.

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy course; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat." (Theodore Roosevelt)

Re: Manitou Incline - Current Conditions
Sweet photos! I did the incline today with Eric and most of what little snow you saw the other day is gone - brought spikes but left them in the pack. Good times! Cheers!

Re: Manitou Incline - Current Conditions
Wonder if I saw you up there today, Greenwok? I started on the Incline about 1:30ish. I also left the microspikes in the car and was glad I did ! Snow is not a concern on the Incline as of today

Re: Manitou Incline - Current Conditions
We started at 11:00 and I want to say we were back at the Barr TH 12:47PM, so must have just missed you. Ended up being a super nice day for that - had been watching the weather and expecting more extensive cloud cover but the sun was out most of the time 
Cheers!
