Pffft...noob. Call me when you hit the big 5-0. Then we will talk about partying!
(I was asleep at 7:30...)
Yep - we left Pepe Osaka's around 5pm. Was 2nd car behind a plow heading up the pass, so it was slow going. 2 complete asshats passed the long line of cars behind the plow, then the plow itself, in extremely poor visibility on blind mountain curves.
Then a 3rd asshat (in a shitty old RWD "free candy" van) passed the long line of cars but decided not to pass the plow, so he ended up ahead of me but behind the plow. Then the plow stopped to turn at the top of the pass and I went around said asshat and the plow at the summit. Asshat then proceeded to ride my ass *down* the pass for a couple miles, then passed me again. At the first switchback he did a 180 - fortunately I was well back by this point and there were no vehicles coming *up* when he did it.
We got on 70 at Empire and the road was eerily empty for many miles due to the many closures... then we got to Floyd Hill and had to play "shitty-tire vehicle slalom" going up the hill. Wife was not terribly amused when I decided the unplowed shoulder was by far the best option for getting around all the morans with shitty tires.
Got off at the top of the hill and took an unplowed 40 all the way around to Evergreen, played a bit more slalom, then bailed over to Bear Creek canyon in Evergreen to get back down the hill. Slow going, but at least there weren't any goddam dipshits messing up the works.
Got home and got likkered for the NY. Barely made it to midnight.
I'd like to think a bunch of people learned some lessons last evening, but I'm old enough at this point to realize that it's unlikely any morans learned *anything*...
I am fairly impressed by the snow/ice performance of the new tires on the truck, though... at least as good as the old Michy's I had on it.
What have you got on it?
The General Grabber Arctic LT's we just put on the plow to use on asphalt have been great for the use I've given them so far versus the old chains on the dirt roads.
is this the snow tire thread?
Blizzaks, baby. Fo Lyfe!

They're Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo 3's. Prior to that I had several sets of Michelin LTX A/T 2's which I really liked. I would have put another set of those on, but supply chain issues had different ideas...
These are all just all-season A/T tires - not dedicated snows.
Scheduling things such as bikes, photo gear, lawnmowers and other fairly expensive home items is a great way to increase your personal property limit in the case of a total loss.
View from mountain today. My house is somewhere in that highlighted area, across a small plateau/valley.
We go through the house and take pictures of everything we have about every 5-6 months. Open every closet, the storage shed, etc. It allows, in the case of a claim, to say "I had a Kitchen Aid 12" mixing machine vs. I had a mixing machine. Also allows for keeping track of upgrades and changes to the house. Insurance companies will pay out dead min if possible. Being able to provide a list of actual items is a solid counter to minimal price offers.
OK, now I see. Still, @buckoW's porch pics somehow look more like high mountain terrain to me.
Yeah... Colorado's mountains are, for the most part, just really high hills. There are some exceptions, but when compared to a.lot of mountain ranges, they are pretty mellow.
Nailed it. 2560 m.
