Keep Your Hands on the Wheel and Don't Look Down
- batbomb 9y agoMy dad decided to drive home from Ouray to Farmington, NM one late April during a snowstorm. My mom didn’t talk to him for a week. We could barely see the front of the car as we tried to follow the snow plow most of the way. I was about 12 but I remember the drive vividly... my mom also didn’t want to sit in the front seat during the drive. Getting to Silverton, we all got out of the car to stretch a bit, it was an extremely satisfying experience to feel safe again. I love Ouray. It’s extremely beautiful and so are the mountain passes all around it.
- TYPE_FASTER 9y agoMade it to Silverton just before they closed Red Mountain Pass once. Five feet of new snow at the mountain. It took a day to open, then we had the best skiing of my life. Then I drove back to Boulder in another blizzard. 285 was closed, ten hour drive. Miss that area so much.
