'Since we were in a car, if we had been closer to the avalanche, if we'd actually been in its path, we would have been submerged.' Watch as two best friends recount a close call with an avalanche on Berthoud Pass yesterday morning.
GRAND COUNTY, Colo. — As a pair of best friends descended down Berthoud Pass toward Winter Park for a day of skiing, they spotted something that made their hearts race: a cloud of snow high on the ridge.
"We were going pretty slowly as we were in that last stretch," Gallo said."And I think Sam noticed something first." One car going in the opposite direction had passed that exact spot just seconds before the slide tumbled downhill.Staley said at its deepest point on the right side of the road, snow piled about eight to 10 feet tall. He estimated that if the pass had had bumper-to-bumper traffic, the avalanche would have caught at least eight cars.
"It definitely triggered some old memories that I had not thought about in a long time," he said."And definitely got the heart moving." He acknowledged all of CDOT's mitigation efforts in the winter time, noting that even on well-traveled roads like Berthoud Pass, avalanches can still happen.
