late june in CO?

William Pughe said:

It's looking like this year's trip to CO is going to be happening a little
early this year, probably the last week in June. The one time I was riding
in Aspen in early June the riding was limited due to deep snow at altitude.
Any notions on snow depth in late June? Specifically, what are the odds
things like the 401 and Monarch are going to be doable then?

Thanks for any advice.

Matt can give you the skinny on Monarch. I can tell you that the drifts
at Vail Pass (11,000'😉 have receded fast. Mid June should be ridable there.

That's what Monarch is likely to be like too. Snowpack wasn't as deep
this year and the warm spring has been making things melt pretty fast.

Thanks for the info. A trip to CO without riding Monarch just wouldn't feel
right.

Hmm, maybe I should ride that some time...

I'd say let's set up a ride date for the weekend after next but like you
said......rain if we show up.

Plan it for the weekend 3 weeks from now but trick the weather by
showing up 2 weeks from now. Just keep it in your head that you're
actually going to do it 3 weeks ago, the weather will never know until
it's too late.

Maybe to those who feel the need to ride the same trails over and
over. This is a good thing for those who like to escape the crowds
though.

There are some trails I'll ride over and over. That's one. Some years I
don't do it but when I come back (preferably on a week day) it's always
a good time. It's also pretty convenient. So I've got that going for me,
which is nice.
