What did I get myself into?! METERS of SNOW on the high mountain passes of Colorado |S6-E108|
EDITORIAL SUMMARY
This Season 6 episode follows a motorcycle ride from Telluride toward Lake City, with high mountain passes between the two Colorado towns. The journey takes an unexpected turn in the form of extensive snow at elevation.
About this film
Part of Itchy Boots’ “Ecuador to Alaska” season, the film is a travel episode built around the ride and the terrain along the way. Telluride provides a historical starting point: the town is described as an old American settlement with a fascinating mining past. From there, the journey continues toward Lake City, where reaching the destination means crossing high mountain passes. The episode’s focus is the contrast between the planned ride and the snowy conditions encountered in the mountains. It offers a compact view of a Colorado passage within a much longer motorcycle journey, using the route itself and the surprise of the snow as its central story.
The journey
The ride begins with Telluride and heads toward Lake City across high passes. Snow is the defining feature of this section: the amount encountered is far greater than expected, making the mountain crossing the episode’s main challenge. The description connects the towns through the pass crossing, while Telluride’s mining history adds context to the departure point. Together, these details place the episode firmly on the road, tracing a specific leg of the season’s journey through Colorado rather than presenting a general overview of the region.
