    HAPPY NEW YEAR to each and all.


    Kurt - you probably remember this one from CO: Don't eat the PINK snow.
    A warning I first heard in Empire CO when we were getting ready to take an early spring hike up Cavode Mt. which has patches of pink snow starting at 11300 feet. Came as a surprise to me that Tourists in the ski resorts will actually eat the stuff, LMAO.

      Maybe we should warn our flatlander friends? Pink snow occurs ABOVE timber line, meaning in altitude high enough that there are no trees. Probably not the best place to get a really bad case of the "trots".

    Happy New Year!

    Sal -- I had to look that one up. I've seen pink snow before, but that was blood. Today I learned something new.

    Cheers,
    Becky

    Yep - 11,300 is about timberline out in the Empire area. 11,500 when you get to the Berthoud pass area. Usually people that aren't familiar with the area don't get that high, though because about 11,000 they start tossing cookies from altitude sickness and have to come back down. I remember my first time climbing past timberline. Um.....I'd much rather have gotten the trots, thanks.

    Of course, when they take ski lifts to the top, they come back down fast enough to not get the real thrill of it all -- except for the few that stop along the way to eat some of that darned pink snow. LMAO.

      Oops, not quite yet (one more derailment).

      When I looked it up, I noticed that it's sometimes called "watermelon snow" -- both because of the color, and also because it's rumored to have a sweet taste. I guess that's why the tourists eat it, eh? Though I just can't imagine why people would shovel colored snow -- any color -- in their mouths. People are nuts.

      OK folks, sorry for the derailment...

        Yes, you are right - it's often called watermelon, but BECAUSE people eat it more often if you call it such, we never did. Seems the name gives it the illusion of being not only edible, but enjoyable. Maybe that is where tourists get the idea. I have to say though, it can be a beautiful sight sometimes.

        Oops - guess this thread is just derailed - but not really too much according to the name of it, eh?

    I agree. It's silly to eat snow of any colour!

    But tell me, what makes the snow pink?

      Good cripes, man. And you thought that the name written in the snow was the same principle as the name written across the birthday cake?
