You're definitely right about the group thing. Ophir was kinda blah though. Although last year it had 20' snow banks at the pass.
Million Dollar HWY + 25 psi in tires = lots of fun at higher than suggested speed.
Lol specially with no sway bar. Last time I was out there I had my grabbers squealin around the corners. Thought I was pretty cool till some crotch rockets blew past me
Ophir is kinda blah when you compare it to the rest, but if you spend most of the day on Imogene and just use Ophir as a way back.. I dunno its not so bad. Last time I was on Ophir it was kinda eventful. I was pretty far up along the edge ascending out of Ophir when from away's up, I see someone in an escape coming down. I'm watching this dill-hole as he's passing several "last chance" pull off spots. I realize unless I find a spot fast one of us is going to be backing up (and that would probably be me considering this guys lack of common sense would have him rolling his shit down the side of the mountain in reverse). So I'm flying up the mountain trying to find a spot and the best thing I can find is a large pile of rocks built up on the edge. My passenger gets out and spots me as I ease out to every available inch of rock pile. By this time the escapes pretty close, but as I'm waiting I can hear the rocks fall from the weight of the truck. I'm like hurry the **** up! So he goes to pass me, but instead of driving by, he rolls his window down and attempts to carry on a conversation about my truck/Raptors in general. Holy shit dude, no wonder his girl friend looked terrified. Finally he passes and I make it off the ledge. That had to have been one, if not the closest, I've ever come to falling off a pass.
I've been on trails out here (most of them actually) where the jeepers coming down were telling me to not even attempt it. Always attempted it and never had a problem (other than some tight squeezes leading to colorado pin striping). Looking forward to it!!
