One of the things high on my dream list is the restoration of the Cumbres snow sheds. Okay, in all likelihood it will never happen, for a number of reasons. My problem, being an old geezer, is I've forgotten the reasons. Seems to me they fell into three categories: (1) money (solvable), (2) the state historic nazis opposed any "recreations" (is that true?), and (3) in terms of current C&TS operations they would be a hazard (probably true). Anyway, I'm just wondering if those with more knowledge and better memories can recall these issues more accurately.
