How much snow you got?

I'm heading to Denver/Colorado Springs from PA this Sat-Tues for a long weekend and looking to bag a few of the easier peaks while there. Can anyone provide any info on current conditions on Grays/Torrey, Mt Bierstadt and Pike's Peak. Is there a need for snow shoes? Also, any other recomendations for hiking in the area at this time of year? Thanks in advance for any help, it is greatly appreciated!

Shasta Accident

I have often wondered how many weekend warriors can really self-arrest when needed. Good thing he did not hook his crampon, can you say "Rag Doll Cartwheel". Glad this ended somewhat ok for him.

Hi all. I'm thinking of going to the park for a week or so backpacking in mid December and was wondering if someone could suggest a good composite map of the area that I can buy online so I can decide on a route. Thank you.
