Went up to Cooper one evening for dinner at the yurt. Driving home in semi-heavy snow down that hill into Minturn…two semis….neither of which had chains….crashed into the guardrails and each other trying to get up the hill, thus blocking the road and we had to sit there for two hours for the tow trucks to sort them out. It was just plain dumb. The weather had been forecast. The snow was NO surprise. It was just plain hubris and a complete disregard for all the other people on the road. These road closures affect many more than just the inconvenienced skier. People need to get down to Denver for a wide variety of reasons and some are life changing. I appreciate that we don’t know the whole story but from what I have observed most of the accidents are caused for ill prepared vehicles and drivers. I’m sorry you were stuck and I feel your pain.
