The 10th thru the 12th would actually work for me. I was already planning Landry line but not sure if my partner will be in. PM sent.

Re: Snowmass /Hagerman ski June 10-11
Post back after the trip... I can only imagine what that road/approach is like back there!
Re: Snowmass /Hagerman ski June 10-11
Couldn't be any worse than in early March. Been there, done that. Crystal Mill is amazing
Re: Snowmass /Hagerman ski June 10-11
Also the road is plowed to Crystal Mill. Who has 4x4?
Re: Snowmass /Hagerman ski June 10-11
You need high clearance 4x4, not some soccer mom 4WD. (Or real driving skill)

Re: Snowmass /Hagerman ski June 10-11
Ah the tourist approach, I was imagining the upper road (Lost Trail Road), the lower one is usually full of side by sides and people with the wrong vehicle trying to back down s**t they shouldn't be on.
Re: Snowmass /Hagerman ski June 10-11
Imagination at work! Well go check it out and report back
Otina - yup. May have to do a ATV rental
Re: Snowmass /Hagerman ski June 10-11
No imagination here. I was back there 4-5 times last summer and 3 times the summer before, and the two times I did the loop, the lower road was always a s**t show, pretty much to lead king. That was on a "low" snow year compared to this year, so its possible to get lucky with people attempting not to go back there this early.
Slides were just cleaned up the first time, blocking the lower road.

I am sorry, how's it relevant to current conditions?
Re: Snowmass /Hagerman ski June 10-11
Never implied that it’s relevant to conditions now... not sure where you got that. I posted in hopes anyone who goes back there would post how the roads were. Got sass from you about how you were back there in early March and can't be that bad.... prior to the historic avalanche cycle that trashed many other roads In the area, and imagination or some s**t.
Re: Snowmass /Hagerman ski June 10-11
Anyhow, still looking for ski partners for Snowmass/Hagerman!
