A group of approximately 50 women from the Denver area, returning from a weekly ski trip, became stranded on Interstate 70 between Silverthorne and Golden, Colorado, due to a severe snowstorm. The women, who were on their way back from Vail, found themselves stuck for more than 15 hours behind jackknifed semi tractor-trailers. Efforts to reach and assist those trapped were hampered by the weather conditions, with reports indicating that the bus was stuck for as long as 22 hours. The incident has prompted responses from local news outlets and efforts from the Colorado Department of Transportation to address the situation. The women on the bus reportedly looked after each other during the ordeal.
