My buddy will have a story to tell for years to come. Turns out where they were, Stratton, CO, was the absolute bullseye. They wound up getting 18 inches of snow. After three hours of being stranded on 24, locals came to the rescue to get them unstuck. Combination of bulldozer and snow shovels got them to a church nearby. The church made chili for the 15+ stranded and offered a place to sleep.
He called me today safely at his Denver destination. Helluva way to start his Colorado chapter!
