We were planning on going up Independence Pass today if it was open, and it was. This is the view just a few hundred feet to the pass. About 4 ft of snow up here, but the roads were good. As we made it to the pass, it started snowing. The plan was to go to Aspen for lunch, but after taking a "safety minute" we decided that ICE and MOTORCYCLES did not mix. We will see aspen on another day.
