not happy with bumper deep???? you're getting spoiled lol!
Was just in there sat and maybe 2' of snow more like 1.5'. One group of 8 went in fri and they were the only tracks going in on sat. Bigger group on sat went in but visibility was very poor. So the group that hits the first sunny day in there will have a blast! The trail in was actually pretty sweet. Our group also went into Chatter and cut some fresh tracks into the few open zones. I ended up braking my left hand on thurs but snow was pretty good to ride with it for 3 days 
All in all great weekened in Golden.

The mines were good
Pretty slushy at lower elevation as well there is a lot of rock and brush you normally don't see. Avy activity was pretty high.

Any pictures of the "mines "themselves. Summer or winter ??
Pretty good air for me. That's why my neck is sore.
Awesome snow for mid May and a good ride to end the season. All my GoPro is totally overexposed unfortunately.
I have looked around and the only evidence of mining I can see is the tailings ponds and the core samples pile (now gone). Never been there in the summer though.
Right in the same area there is a cable or rope bridge strung between two mountain peeks (Azurite Mtn). I want to know what that is all about.

Sounds like a Ariel tram to move the material to me (the cable)
Gonna try to get in there this summer and have a peak around ,

Someone was telling me about possible training area for Military, at one point in time...
I want to say the Mines themselves are up above the tailing ponds, or close by anyways. Some wise old man once told me... haha

Nice pics guys.... looks like a great day for Spring riding !!!
I'm really not much for it, but I need one more FIX before I head back to the desert on Monday...
Oh yeah, who snuck out the T3 ??? Any chance it's still around to ride ???

Not that I know of, it came from south of golden. As for a Sunday drive in the summer you would be hard pressed to get to the tailing ponds. The willows stand dam near 10ft tall and it is fully over grown. Looks like tembec did clear a bunch of willows off the road but not sure how far up they went.
fyi for anyone riding up there for May long, if you find yourself stuck parking at Bobbi burns turn off... Be prepared for a lot of gravel. We rode next to nothing but Sunday was only inches thick, the stage area was feet thick. Also a lot of the willows may be springing up on the trail head, snow depth is just not there at sub alpine.

We parked past the Bobbie Burns turnoff... around 45km I think. Should have went all the way to the Vermont road turnoff... wasnt too bad but def the last ride for us up there this year.
We had a blast, great day with sunlight in the afternoon ( just after our campfire and steak-roast ) snow wasn't great, but still had a blast. pics will follow

Where did you end up parking? Tough ride until after X-mas usually.

Ended up parking at one of the bigger corners... around 29 I think. But had one 4 place trailer so didn't want to get too deep in there and have issues. Pushed in with 2 trucks and decks to that point.
