Alright folks, I hiked it today. The drive from denver is probably about 45min-1 hour. You get off at exit 238 (I70) and go right on fall river road. Stay on that road for exactly 9.1 miles. you will see an old t-bar on your left, its about 1/4 mile after that...there will be a small sign/parking area. hike up the trail (on left side of road) and STAY LEFT on the trail! You will see snow VERY soon, and probably see ppl skiing. Its about a 15-25 minute hike if youre used to the altitude. I will be there around 10 or 11, most are showing up around noon though.
There is ALOT OF SNOW! and one down rail. Pictures from TODAY!:

If anyone has anyquestions let me know! Party at my house in Leadville after if anyone wants in.
PS: please bring a shovel and raincoat, it gets pretty shitty weather around 2pm, so expect rain and slight coldness. and we need shovels to build jumps, at least three jumps we are planing...!
The hike is rocky, an ATV cannot make it up there. wear hiking boots and carry your ski boots. Bring food and water and beer...we're bringing a 30 rack and some liquor.
and to those that have rails, you might want to bring em, it would be sick!
