We got caught on the top of Arapahoe Basin in a snow storm one year - snow was up to my chest and we were just slogging down the mountain. A guy had his ski come off and it was just gone. Spent half an hour trying to help look for it. No chance. Most snow I've ever seen.
You ever drive Loveland Pass is dicey conditions? It's the pass off 70 that cuts you right to A Basin. That'll get your nerves going.
