Driver parks sports car on Schoolmarm ski trail at Keystone Resort
Editor’s note: This story has been updated with information provided by Keystone Resort.
Guests skiing Schoolmarm trail at Keystone Resort had to avoid an Audi sports car Monday, Jan. 6, after a bad set of directions led the vehicle’s driver to abandon it the previous night.
Summit County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Mike Schilling said the driver from Boulder was following GPS directions to the Sagebrush employee housing complex Sunday night, when a directions app told them to turn onto the ski area. The driver followed the directions and eventually became stuck in deep snow. Schilling said the driver abandoned the car and left a note with a phone number.
The Summit County Sheriff’s Office chose not to cite the driver or tow the vehicle since it was on ski area-permitted property, Schilling said.
Keystone Resort communications manager Max Winter said the vehicle was roped off during the day and removed safely once the resort closed Monday. No damage was caused.
