Apparently, it's not too early to start planning your season. I was up working at Pike's Peak, CO, yesterday and was caught off-guard by some sleet, followed by those beautiful white flurries we all love so much. Let's all keep our fingers crossed for a good season.

True, but getting excited about sleet at 10,000+ ft seems a bit too much to me.

the farthest date from the peak of the season divides them? or maybe from when the glacier closes.

Not to rain on your parade, but that happens very often at Pike's Peak year round, and every other 14er in CO.

Honestly laughing so hard at everyone. These threads popped up at the same time last year, saying the same exact thing. And look what happened.....

Not trying to be a downer, but just wait instead of hyping it and guaranteeing disappointment.

For real. Unless you're like 14, you should enjoy all the seasons and keep yourself occupied. It's not hard. I love the summer/fall.
