About 50 women from the Denver area spent 22 hours on a bus amid a snowstorm after leaving a ski trip to Vail, Colorado.
area turned into an overnight ordeal when their bus got stuck in a snowstorm behind jackknifed semi tractor-trailers on their way back from Vail.
“We did run out of food and water and were limited on our use of the bathroom," she said. “And people dug in their backpacks for tissues when we ran out of toilet paper. And we looked after each other.”The women were on the final of the 10 weekly ski trips with the Thera-ski Bus, a volunteer-run women's only ski group that has been operating for about 40 years.
They did run out of water at one point, but the bus company was able to take a maintenance truck in to a convenience store that the bus couldn't access and get them water and chips, Davis said. “It gave us a purpose instead of just sitting there and complaining,” said Wagner, who said did not sleep much on the bus and mostly giggled with a friend much of the night. Nevertheless, she was back out skiing on Friday on a previously planned trip.
