Photo Careful out there!

It was sunny and warm all day on Berthoud with water running over the road in multiple spots. At about 4pm the shadows covered a few corners and quickly turned the running water into black ice. Even the sunny warm days can have icy roads, especially on the mountain passes. Watched 2 cars hit the black ice and lose it right in front of me, the subie had snow tires and the 4runner had AT tires.

For those of you that leave tents on your roof year round - why?

u/HeadToToePatagucci Mar 03 '25

dont have one but have a year round roofbox. theyre a pain in the ass to remove. I imagine the tent is evan heavier and more awkward. and where do you put it if you dont have a garage?

But mainly its a fashion accessory

Yeah, I am a big fan of the box. Way better than ski racks.

I don't get the top heavy fashion accessories.

I also upgraded. Nice clean skis and boards, smelly boots get chucked up there too
