4. Cost for Culebra in the summer was $100, $150 with Red Mountain. Winter price was $200, which included Red Mountain. Will fees remain the same?
Too late, but you should have said; 14ers.com members have always gotten a 75% discount on the fees. I assume this is going to continue? :wink:

Probably the same 1% percenter collecting our hard earned dough. Just working with different peasants.
Hopefully, Carlos still has a job.

Carlos is an A gamer. I hope he stays also. Carlos once kicked one of my buddies off the property for excessively complaining about the fee, rightly so. It still makes for some good laughs. Then a few years later he rode up solo in winter during a blizzard when we were late on the return from a ski descent. That is the type of guy I would want working my ranch.

Nice job Anna.

I'm so glad I am done with that one. I never really liked the concept that someone can own a mountain (call me a dirty socialist Nazi I don't care). Good on them for capitolizing on it though! haha.

Anyways... agree with the comment about a 1%er collecting dough... haha.

Don't hike much in Larimer County then! Geesh! It's a maze of private property out there!

Yeah I am glad that I got it done last year. Hopefully the fee either doesn't change or even goes down (the latter seems unlikely).
Climb the mountain so you can see the world, not so the world can see you.

I hope it was his choice, but yes what a loss.

Time for the next great losing streak to begin.
