Does anyone have an idea if going to Lumpy Ridge tomorrow is possible?

In the sense that you can walk around without snowshoes yes, but Why?

FWIW, as of 1/10/15, there wasn't much snow around the south-facing aspects around Estes Park. As is typical, the wind and sunshine play factors, but you can often get a shorter mid-day window to climb in or around Estes/Lumpy, etc, on days 40 & above during the winter if you can tolerate a wee bit of chill.
