Kodiak Cannonball Cancelled Due to Wildfire

[Marco]

For any Colorado skiers planning on skiing at Kodiak this weekend, it has been cancelled due to a wildfire that is now on the grounds of the lake. I hope and pray that the firefighters can battle it back and protect one of the most beautiful ski lakes in Colorado.

 

The fire was started yesterday by a couple of idiots firing tracer rounds at a shooting range. This picture is from yesterday before the fire crested the hill and entered the grounds of the lake . It is now over 3,000 acres and growing fast.

Over 5,000 acres now, 0% contained , (over 2 million sq meters ,in Florida) Only 3 homes lost so far,firefighters have done a great job protecting homes with water from the ski lake. The ski lake and all around the lake is under evacuation. wind has been changing back and forth, which I suppose is good in the long run.Zoom in to see the lake middle left, where it says Aspen ice karting

What a tragedy. Thoughts and prayers with everyone out there. Skiing at Kodiak was a highlight of our trip to Colorado last summer.
