Lived in Denver, worked for Greyhound, drove many people to and from Colorado ski resorts.
I was lucky but do have stories.
It is well that all my 'experiences' driving people here and there happened pre-cell-phones, but damn I could have used some of today's technology then.
Downhill in the mountains with a leaking transmission and nearly overheating brakes is a scary memory.
Skiers are the worst drivers, always on the edge of losing their edge (traction).
