And remember your tire chains and/or studded snow tires, as I just heard the ice flow on the road has gotten long enough to be problematic if you don’t have some steel for traction.

anyone looking to hit up Montezuma or anything else soon, remember WAX. yeah, the stuff you put on your skis last Christmas? It’s helpful I found :)

Carl, I’d bring chains but wouldn’t bother chaining up till you’ve walked up the road there and scouted it. Most of the road is dry or has packed snow/rocks with good traction.

I could have used chains for busting the snow up higher, but now that’s done for you (smile).

I’ve gotta get some chains for my 35s, but my little worn out V6 probably doesn’t have enough power to really do them justice. Rebuilding that engine needs to be done, perhaps this winter for evening relaxation?

Looking good. Would it be correct to assume you needed chains to make it past that ice right before the waterfall? I was up there on Monday but parked before the ice, about 10,800ft.

@Evan — WOW!

@ onyourleft — biggest difference for me between the Radiums and BDs, foot volume. The BDs fit my WIDE foot much better straight out of the box. So that’s a good place to start.
