Hi Mudwasp, I was Eric's riding buddy that day (cotrailrider (Bob)). Anyway, I Googled the elevation for nearby Jamestown. It's just under 7,000 ft. I suspect the riding area for Lefthand Canyon is between 6500 and 8500 ft. The ride was almost bone dry.
If you are looking for early mountain riding - On the I-70 corridor, McCoy is open now, provided the storms today and this weekend miss it, and Bocco Mtn and Gypsum should be open in a couple of weeks. Along I-25, Texas Creek, Canon City OHV area, and Tanner's and Stultz should be wide open, with Cuchara and Captain Jack's still a few weeks out.
