Driver Follows GPS Guidance Straight to the Bottom of a Colorado Ski Trail

A driver en route to a Colorado ski resort experienced an unexpected detour when their GPS directed them to the base of the Schoolmarm ski trail near Mountain House, rather than their intended destination—the Keystone Resort's employee housing area. Despite the misdirection, the driver adapted to the situation and navigated the challenge successfully.

According to the Summit County Sheriff's Office, the driver, behind the wheel of an Audi hatchback, experienced a bizarre twist of fate when his vehicle briefly floated on frozen snow before the tires broke through the icy surface. A video shared on Reddit captured the moment when the driver obediently followed Siri's directions, culminating in his car getting stranded at the trail's base.

Leaving a note on the windshield, the driver decided to leave the car overnight and seize the opportunity to indulge in a skiing escapade. In a light-hearted acknowledgment of the situation, he humorously remarked in the video, "I'm the Jerry of the Day, I guess."

Efforts to extricate the car from its snowy predicament proved futile, despite the assistance of resort employees attempting to create a path for the vehicle. With morning light breaking, the staff had to halt their rescue mission as the mountain opened for the day, necessitating the fencing off of the car to prevent any accidental collisions with skiers or snowboarders.

Remarkably, the driver escaped any legal repercussions, as the Summit County Sheriff's Office refrained from issuing a citation since the car was not abandoned on a main road. Moreover, despite being marooned near a bustling ski trail throughout the day, the vehicle emerged unscathed, with the only potential consequence being a hefty towing fee.
