Any one been back to Spirit ? We are heading up this weekend and Just wondering if the lack of snow on the peaks is keeping guys from going that far back.

So after leaving our sleds up Renshaw on Monday night we trippled up the trail the next morning(which hurt like hell all 32k)on one sled. I believe the creek is Chalco creek to the right of the cabin? We ventured down the mountain too far and got stuck there. 3 of us guys ended up digging a goat trail up the creek and finally got the two sleds out after about three hours. Snow was waist deep which made it even more fun!

Long story short we know where not to go now, but if anyone else winds up down there we have a trail winding up to the top which is hopefully helpful!

Pretty steep looking. How did you keep your sled from falling off the face of the earth?

Been snowing all day. About five inches on my hot tub here in town. Much more at higher elevations. Lets hope it keeps up. Maybe ryan found the right leg to hump.
