STRANGE MEAT. Whats the deal with the snowpack in Colorado? I booked a short, nice little flight to Denver and then I found out how deep the snowpack was. I'm a novice mountain hiker and not a skier, I heard that the Sangres had less snowpack (I was planning on being there mid June), so I was thinking of doing that, but I am leaning towards just doing some hikes around Portland under 5000 ft, and getting fucked up in Portland. Flying to Denver from St. Louis is extremely, extremely pleasant, however, and flying to the west coast is a huge bitch (on southwest, anyway...I have to go through LAX)and costs me 3X as much as Denver , so I'm kind of irritated. I don't mind snowshoes, but I saw that photo of that road being cleared in RMNP...
I guess my question is...how fast will that melt off under (10,000 ft or whatever) by mid june, you think the 13r/14r trails will be gushing with water? My guess is that the trails will be a mess in mid june.
