I know it's been stated before so I apologize re-asking the question, but what is the temperature cut-off for rides? Temps are dipping this weekend.

Thanks

Correction, Chuck is slated to lead this weekends ride.

Opie: Depends on the ride leader, the official club cut off is -20 below at the Airport one hour before the ride start time.

However, some of us like it a bit warmer :)

The snow conditions at summit were amazing and super deep! A little cold, -26 at the parking lot and I'm guessing about -5 to-10 up in elevation. I would recommend a long track, my 141" was really working to stay afloat out there. Lots of untracked area out there, 4ft plus of fresh powder everywhere.
