Any advice on Rabbit Ears Pass?
I took the shuttle from Denver International to Steamboat 2 years ago, and
at night, in the middle of a snowstorm, Rabbit Ears Pass was quite hairy. This season I am returning, this time with my wife and daughter, and have rented a Jeep Cherokee for the journey. This will be in early January and I can't help noticing that an awful lot of snow seems to be arriving already. I am used to driving in snow but would welcome any advice for the trip. Also, does anyone know a US website that sells Pay-As-You-Go SIM cards that I could insert in my triple-band mobile phone, for the duration of the trip. In UK, PAYG SIM cards are easy to obtain and are cheap but all I can find for the USA is rental of a complete phone.

Just drive slow and you will be fine. Give plenty of space between you and the guy in front of you. Nothing really to worry about it if you go at a comofrtable pace.

Unfortunately, neither are US mobile phone carriers... -- Chester Bullock, Ethical, custom website hosting, design and programming Tenxible Solutions, http://www.tenxible.com Web Based Autoresponder and DRIP system, http://www.toolsre.com AIM: tenxible YahooIM: ccb247 |

The phone companies just don't play fair and wont until we pass some laws to make them. For those who don't know what we are talking about, in Europe you buy your phone seperate from your plan provider and just get the SIM card from your provider. Here, if you want to switch providers you need to get a new phone. Just another way to lock you into a provider. At least we are making progress with number portability. snoig |
