Mine. Wake up ealry. Dumping. Into the T100 with coffee. Hit eidleweiss for breakfast sandi....rollin up towards harlow. Dumping. Roads are bad, it's still dark. Roughly 7 o'Clock. As I approach todays edge I come up on a line of white-plated cars (3) moving very slowly. I know Harlow looms just ahead. I stop. No one coming up behind. I let the gap widen between me and the 3 cars ahead of me all stacked up behind the first guy going 20 MPH.
"He's never gonna make it..." I think to myself.
Headlights in the rear view, I punch it.
As I pass the matterhorn I can see the 3 are slowing. Another truck on my tailgate I mat it.
The first car stops in the meat of the hill, slips sideways and starts to slide back. The car behind him thinks about going around and shooting thru the narrowing gap that is the on-coming lane, but see's me and the Yota roaring up behind...triple pass with the truck in my rear view glued to my bumper. In the swirling chaos of my rearview I see the 3 jumbled and sliding backwards...blocking off the whole road with a line of vehicles stacked up behind them. On the lift line for the quad by 7:30, the ussual supects. All nine of us, including steve who was in the truck behind me sit and wonder where the heck everyone else is....the lifts open. One lap of glorious untrack powder...upper upper national to partridge to midway to the gully left of lift line to the lift. No line. Ghost town. Lap 2....nosedive, grill, midway, lower goat woods....back to the quad. Empty. Lap 3...Nosedive, bypass, rimrock, pumphouse, switchback woods, lower chin clip.....to the gondi, first on line with the same 9 folks.
WTF is going on?????
..then word comes.....
A bus and several other cars are sideways on the hill and the road has been close for the last 1.5 hours.
LOL.
