GoI70

GoI70’s good friend and stellar Jackrabbit Sean caught the weekend in a haiku at 4:27 Sunday afternoon,

Basho by Kinkoku

Blows through the stop-sign,
Flies up the ramp at sixty five,
Walls of cars mock him.

Dig it. If you were on I-70 at that moment you understood.

The weekend of February 20th & 21st provided a good look at what happens when the irresistible force  – new snow on the slopes/time to get home – meets the immovable object – that would be the line of stopped cars just ahead. If you had started out from any of the resorts after a fine afternoon of new snow, you were looking at more than 3 hours of grind for an 1 hour and 20 minute trip. We’ll have a weekend recap up a little later.

If you are checking in to follow up on our 1st Guess the Mess contest, be patient. Peak delay for Sunday was 141 minutes at 4:42 pm. Most of the entrants were very low, but – hey – this is like horseshoes: close counts. We are checking the entries on email and the Messages network, then we will contact the winners and as soon as we have verified their eligibility. We will post the winners right here. Meanwhile you can start studying up for our next contest this weekend. More prizes, more competition.
