One of our daughters lives in Leadville, CO, elevation 10,200ft. She said that they’ve had several recent avalanches, including one that buried 4 or 5 cars on the road to Fresno/Breckenridge.
Thankfully, other motorists were able to help the occupants get out and no one was hurt.
Drove through Leadville and saw their high school football field. Wondered how much oxygen they go through in a season.
But I guess living there all your life is different than visiting from a sea level lifestyle.
