Oh yeah, sorry. Some dude was weaving his way through traffic in Keystone driving all aggressive like. Must have thought he was going to get somewhere faster than everyone else. I kept catching up to him at the stop lights without even trying.

Keep me on task here....if this the right thread to talk about laughing at Sprinter Dorks sitting in traffic? What about tough guy that won't take any help, tries to load his girls $16k Ski Doo onto the deck with too short ramps and no headache rack and whiskys it trough the rear glass. "Hey bro, you want a ski pull" "Nah, I'll just I70 it with no window...I'm good".

Corvette towing a shed/tiny home thing up Monarch, trying his best to overtake the I-70 boat dude for first prize.

Holy shit, that’s fucking great and close. But I still claim my boat photo for first prize. It’s the boat but it’s also the semi in the left lane that was 1 of about 3 who were stuck there, forcing everyone into a gauntlet in between to two shitshows:

The local state patrol posted about corvette guy on Facebook when he was stuck by the Monarch Lodge. Then others chimed in with their pictures of him from C Springs, and driving up 50 through big horn sheep canyon.

Wonder if he made it to his new homesite

Here is the state patrols post

Monarch Pass: @ 4:37pm

White out conditions making travel very difficult...

(especially for the Corvette pulling a small cabin on a trailer, currently stuck in the westbound lane by the Monarch Lodge.

🤦♂️)

If you are from Arizona, Florida, Texas, Nevada, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, North and South Carolina, and Mississippi... please avoid the area altogether.

Locals, you might just wanna grab your heavy coat.

PS: I know that many of you are wondering what state this set up is from. I would tell you, but then ya'll will start making fun of drivers from Pennsylva.... never mind... I've said too much. You'll just have to guess.

Be safe!!

Something fucked today. Took another hike instead of leaving when it came to a dead stop.

Heard Saturday someone had a 4 hour one way to Vail...

**Summit** · 02-01-2021, 09:23 AM

Just volume traffic or something else?

I think the reserve psyops are in effect right now where everyone thinks that it is less busy between the holidays and spreak break (excepting MLK and Presidents) and such the front range day skier just gets after it. I don't thing you can estimated the #Ivegotaplaceinthemountains crowd STRs to the vacationer during the busy times yet they are the busy times.

At The Jane, we have the turn left/turn right index. Currently, everyone turns right. During the "Busy Times" everyone turns left. The turn right crowds gets in line at the Pano and bitches. The turn left crowd gets in line and the Gondola and smiles.

Manage your life accordingly.

I think you give people too much credit. This weekend is always really busy. Has been for many years.

A few days ago. 2 out of 3 truck ramps were occupied but this one took the cake.

Not me, you've got the wrong guy! I was just commenting that the demographics of the busy changes. #Ive got a place in Fraser is too dumb to figure out that the lift lines are full of Steve's and Kathy's from Lakewood...just like them.
