About 50 women from the Denver area found themselves in an unexpected and uncomfortable situation during their weekly ski trip back from Vail. The group, part of the Thera-ski Bus, a volunteer-run women's only ski group with a 40-year history, faced a series of challenges that tested their perseverance and unity.
After being chased off the hill at Vail due to a lightning storm, the women encountered further obstacles on their journey home. Their bus got stuck behind jackknifed semi tractor-trailers, leading to a 22-hour ordeal. Despite running out of food and water and facing limited bathroom access, the women banded together, sharing resources and looking after each other's needs.
