lol i live on Sugarloaf and the idea that winter is totally rideable and that you can easily ride the mountains 2 days after a snowstorm is ludicrous. The corners and shaded parts of the canyons stay snow-bound and ice-bound for weeks at a time. You can barely drive it with snow tires. Yes, you can probably ride to Hygiene if it warms up to 40-50 after a storm, but the mountain roads are still going to be rivers of black ice.
Hardest thing about Boulder riding is you want to swap out bikes midway through your ride once you abruptly go from smooth blacktops to chewed-up gravel.
