How well do you do at treeline and how many months of the year do you want to use it?

I would find out if the road in is maintained, if not you may only get 5 months of use. If you plan on building I would be worried about water. The ad says electricity available but how close. I have heard that getting power to land can cost as much as $10,000 per pole.
Just getting around at timber line in general tends to make you out of breath.
Interesting. Off the west side of Weston Pass. Looks like pretty steep terrain. Way to close to the "beaten path" for me. I would expect a 100% trespassing rate on summer and fall weekends with hikers, bikes, ATVs and other "explorers". Heck, I think I have even driven up the access road there before myself.
Is the property on a south facing slope or north facing, south will dry out sooner.
ETA I looked at the pix again, it is on the south side of the hill.
I suppose that would depend on a persons physical conditioning. Most people do very poorly with even a small amount of exertion at this altitude.
Terrific views, ask for pixs of the property instead of the views and get some winter pix.
Weston Pass is busy, there is a little community at the base too, maybe people will stay on the road and not trespass.
Well that would certainly put one close enough to Ski Cooper...
the catch 22 seems to be if it's too remote, and i store anything there, nobody's around to notice. If it's close to population, there's more traffic and more eyes on what i would leave there. Not sure how other people handle this. I guess the easy answer is, don't leave anything valuable there.
Pack it in, pack it out. OR rethink where you want to buy land. Alo consider IF there were a medical emergency. How does one get to hospital? Would local fire rescue handle it . Or will flight for life be needed.
Most, if not all LE's would consider theft of property a very low priority.
