Osier Conditions?

Unread postby Karl Strauss » Mon May 02, 2016 2:15 pm

Happy - Almost Summer. I noticed that La Manga Pass was getting some snow (thanks Webcam people!). So it got me to wondering if anyone has pictures or information on the conditions at Osier.

Thanks!

I would think that Osier is inaccessible at this time. The road in is dirt and very bumpy. Though with only 3 weeks to go they have to get to it somehow to open the building up. Snowmobiles maybe at this point.

No access to Osier currently- you can make about 7 of the 15 off-road miles. There's still two feet of hard pack at 10,000 feet. That's in a 4x4 Suburban.
