Wouldn't be fun today, though. Eeesh ... just had a nasty flashback to the day I got stuck on Rampart Range Road on a bright, sunny December day ... but the wind started blowing hard, and the road got blocked by a couple feet of snow in 30 minutes. We were lucky to get out of there.
That was the day I learned the true meaning of "Mountain Conditions Can Change Rapidly." I'm a lot more careful these days.
Always wear the best extreme cold weather boots you can get. waterproof or water resistant (at least) shells over layers of clothing. And have a case of those little chemical (sawdust and other stuff) hand and foot warmers. Take drinking water, food and extreme cold weather sleeping bags.
...and snowboards (with helmets, motocross protective gear and first aid kits for backcountry)!
Army extreme cold weather survival training helps, too.
And walking after dark without a light, look behind you every few seconds (scares stalking lions away--no kidding).
