Back in my 20's went on a ski trip to Taos NM with some guys from work for the weekend. I were the youngest...
It started snowing when it was my turn to drive, AND I had to drive up the mountain passes into the Taos area. The snow was coming down so heavy you could only see about 100 ft. AND there was a little over 1 ft of fresh snow on the ground/road. We were on the mountain pass twisty turny climbing road late at night and before the snow plows. The only way I could tell where the road was is the mountain wall on my right side, and there was a bump in the snow where the guard rail was on my left side.
We were not sober. The other three kept encouraging me telling me I was doing great and to keep going. After I made it up the mountain to where the roads were plowed and much better they said I did so well in such an extreme situation I didn't have to drive the rest of the trip and replaced me as driver. It was some of the scariest driving I've ever done. Skiing with all the fresh snow was fantastic.
