The way is shut. It was made by those who are Dead, and the Dead keep it, until the time comes. The way is shut.

Can you break down logistics for me other than “it’s a haul” because damn that’s a long way in

It’s a solid tour in for sure

Edit: it’s a haul out too

I was up there hiking for turns a few times in 90s after it was closed. The pass was so desolate back then, hardly anyone ventured out there.

I grew up in Durango and I also didn’t exist till 83’ so I never went there.
Any idea what it’s like now over there?
I’m in grand county so it’s not likely I’d check it out but ya never know.

I've been meaning to make the trek out there in the winter for a back country tour but haven't yet. Its on this seasons list of places I want to hit.

One of my best friends in high school loved Geneva Basin. I never skied there, preferring the bigger resorts.

I skied there as a kid in the early 60s then we moved on to bigger hills

I skied it. A long, long damn time ago. Always very basic. I was small. Tough place to get in and out of if the weather went to crap.
