So I just got my new Raptor last week and this blizzard hits Denver. In addition, I had wrist surgery yesterday so I only have one hand. Next to no one is in the office - but I AM! The Raptor ROCKS in the snow!! Only about 100 miles on the thing and I am SO happy with my purchase!

Ok, I'm going to go take some pain killers now. :crazy:

I was supposed to fly out of Denver today but saw the shitstorm moving in and grabbed the last flight out yesterday evening. Whew! Glad I did now.

I was in Denver yesterday too. Supposed to fly out today but decided to get out ahead of the storm. I saw a Black Raptor on my way to the airport and was thinking what a great time to be driving that truck.

Have fun in all that snow.

Yup, got a friend trying to fly out today. So far most flights have been cancelled and he's re-booking like mad.

It's not THAT bad (for Denver). If you didn't have a 4x4 or if you had a long commute it'd be pretty terrible though.

I left Denver yesterday for Steamboat Springs. We're here now, trying to enjoy the ice on the mountain. Glad I got my board edged before I came.

It's tough sitting in the condo watching denver (highlands ranch) get 1.5 feet of snow. Ugh.

oh well, I'm dressed and ready to hit the slopes.

Raptor got 15.8 MPG uphill from Denver to Steamboat (470 -> 70 -> 9 -> 40).

Have a good weekend.

I love Steamboat. We usually go up there in the summer too for little weekend getaways. It makes me want to hit Walden too. You been in the Raptor?

Wish I had my Raptor for this storm, my 2011 Jeep has the worst stock tires, I was sliding around everywhere. I should have borrowed my Brother's Raptor.
