🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻my husband could drive this because he delivered lumber, no longer on this earth plane, ALS took him💔💔Born in Gilman, raised in Minturn is why I love snow. Love your videos .
All those cars passing you are learning about "hurry up and wait". Those are times when my sister and I, even now in our seventies, are inclined to let out with a resounding, "neener, neener, nee-ee-ner!"
I just found this & experiencing driving through the mountains in the snow in my chair at home, lol I’m Canadian and living in the south and miss snow so much. When I was young 50 years ago, I drove from Vancouver to Calgary New Year’s Eve at night just to see my sister and celebrate. It was snowing all the way I was the only car out there and it was so peaceful and beautiful..
When it comes to keeping a little space...especially on a snowy, icy road some driver's have no sense at all, let alone being able to read the road. They should have to drive the Sno Chi Minh trail between Laramie and Rawlins (I-80) where you have to stop every 10 mi in a snowstorm, get out and kick the snow and ice out of the wheel wells so you can steer again. There is nothing like the Sno Chi Minh trail to teach a little r.e.s.p.e.c.t. for the road and other drivers, especially truckers. Sadly though, we lose kids every year up here, who are killed in wrecks, no seat belts, too fast for conditions etc. They learned to drive on those roads. Heartbreaking.
Hey mike, I followed you for many years,I like your videos of your travels,I was on my own journey, my wife was battling brain cancer for many years, she lost her battle in 2021 and I barely getting back to what I used to do.watching your videos . ME and her always watched your videos when she was doing chemotherapy.Thank you for taking us on a ride.
Well, I've just checked Your route on google and I noticed I was close to Your trip in Keystone Mountain Ski Resort in 1997 I suppose, on a one week GEO Summit (Conference). I remember that well because it took part also in the middle of the winter and the road from Denver airport to ski resort was just like on Your movie. Thank You a lot for bringing me back my memories from that event. Thank You and God Bless You in your hard work. Greetings from Kalisz, in Poland. Best regards Peter.
I am a 76 year old, I drive a 4x4 and have forever! You are an excellent teacher, I learn with every video. Today's video is a white knuckler a minute show, but you love this stuff. Thank you 💖
Today is 21/11/23, I’m a woman of 54 yrs, not travelled a whole lot(Canada 1x, Spain 1x), I love snow but here in UK even here in the north of, we get nothing..I love to watch snow videos & heavy machinery, & seeing other countries I’ll never get to see… Thank you for these up-loads… plus I learn about big rigs & how they work etc… Side point: I grew up with brothers, so dollies weren’t my thing, cars, trucks & all kinds of machinery… 🚗🚐🚚
No dollies for me either and 2 brothers. I've been a trucker for 25yrs and I think trucks are lovely, too! It's nice to know there's other gals out there that appreciate the better things in life. 😁 🇺🇲
I enjoy your snow covered content and your so calm which I know you need to b and you finally told us that you did Jack Knife just a little I knew it’s not a piece a cake out there we also want to here your close calls we do worry about you your like family cause we listen and watch you Thank you so much
I understand the buffer zone. I’m not a trucker, but I hate it when somebody takes the space I’m leaving for safety. Ah, well, look at it this way…idiots give you something to talk about! 😂 Scenery is beautiful. I love the mountains and the snow…and together, so magical!
Beautiful. I used to go up to northern Maine in the winter to haul potatoes back to NC. Constant snow without the mountains. That’s just absolutely beautiful. I would go down to Florida in the sunshine and sweat and couldn’t wait to get back to the snow. That’s was a great run. I lived in NC 2 miles from ‘South of the Border’ (Pedro) which was 1/2 way between Miami and NYC. Would get home twice a week with the produce from Florida to Boston and the potatoes back.
My parents (both gone now) were married in the 1950's. They lived in Aurora for while. My father loved the mountains, though my mom did not - but she loved to accompany dad . I remember her recalling a drive up over Berthoud Pass and how scared she was ! I wonder if this is the same road - though certainly much improved from the 1950's. Not sure if I could handle this drive !
I’ve driven that road in a Pathfinder..we were going on a ski trip..snowing like crazy..I drove because my son was too nervous..I’m old and it didn’t bother me..drove real slow..lol Love the mountain scenery..could not stop looking at that beauty..
I remember every rock and tree you are seeing while driving up that road. I drove it to work for over ten years. I love that drive. I’ve seen it in every weather condition.
I stay in line with heavy equipment drivers we go down them grades 15mph. What you have to do if stuck in automatic. I drive like you in manuals. Great driver and great calming speaking voice. Thank you.
Highway 40 goes through my town in Utah. You have a video in the past driving through my town. I used to drive truck to Denver from time to time going via hwy 40. Berthoud pass way up on the great divide. Bring it on down the other side.
This is one of the best videos you have ever done , I watch it as I work from home, if it was four hours I would have watched all four hours. Just the scenery the big fir tree tinseled in snow. Thank you.
Great driving skills.. I’ve skied my whole life, driven on snow since age 15. I could not do what you do, given all the idiots on the roads. Stay safe!
Какая красивая музыка!Можно слушать целый день в любое время,при выполнении повседневных дел,на душе становится радостно,спасибо большое!Дай Бог вам всем здоровья!
no matter the weather or road conditions, if you're not riding the vehicles ass in front. the vehicle behind thinks you're driving to slow 🐌 😑 barefoot driving in snow-covered roads is an art form, not many semi drivers have that skill any longer. it was my favorite time driving. good driving Mike.
Hi Mike, thanks for the drive through the mountain road with all that beautiful scenery. I can understand your frustration with drivers who just have to get ahead of a semi, I experienced it too and not just on snowy conditions. The number of times they overtake and then brake in front is unbelievable. Anyway that's my rant for today. Keep on trucking brother. Peace!
Yeah that's what I want in front of me a big ugly truck as I'm driving through the beautiful mountains blocking my view smell of diesel and pines.. most people are in a hurry... I just don't like them in my view.. real truckers can pull over and wave somebody by on the shoulder..I'd rather Amway up in front of me then we're on my ass
Thanks MMM. Very good video. I learned at a young age to be patient. My trainer drove into me to take my time. Thanks for responding all the time. I know you are a busy man. Peace!!!
18:01 "What are they gaining?" I said the same exact thing simultaneously as you when I first watched this video. I couldn't help but laugh,but I think everyone watching this said the same thing. Thanks for posting this video.
Mike, I (We) love riding with you during bad weather and learning from you!!! But I (We) still love going on scenic drives and you still end up teaching us something on those trips as well!!! I just really enjoy riding with you, but I feel you only film on bad weather days only!! Take Care!!! Stay Safe!!! 🤗♥️🙏🏼
Hi Mike! Great video! Those people in such a hurry are stupid. It’s those kind of drivers that make the roads so dangerous for the rest of us trying to travel safely. Be safe. God bless my friend
Man, I know I've commented on a few of your videos lately....and I feel like you and I were twin drivers that were separated at birth. I'm not a trucker, but I always exercise caution. People always giving me sh!t about how I drive in the rain and snow. It drives me crazy when people pass me in poor road conditions, then put on their brakes, continue at the same speed I am going, and ruin the safety space I intentionally left between me and the next vehicle. Much like yourself, I just don't understand what these people are thinking, or how they think they are going to get somewhere faster in conditions like these. Thank you for posting these videos.
I have said in the past that there needs to be a infomercial to explain, describe how and why truckers behave in a certain manner in adverse conditions. This commercial should air on everyone favorite TV programs and all news media channels.
Hi Mike, regarding your comment about heating portions of the highway. There is a guy in Buffalo who is a UA-camr and he has quite a sophisticated system for a heated driveway at his home. Well, it got overwhelmed by the last big storm, it couldn't keep up and turned much of it into ice. He says he will no longer try to heat the driveway anymore in a big storm otherwise it works great.
@@ridingshotgun1251 unrelated question- you ever been up in the Toronto area? My long time friend and Best Man (also named Mike- now deceased) worked at a Freight Forwarding company in Oakville and said he knew a Mountain Man Mike in the trucking business.. If that's you I think I met you through him about 15 years ago.
They left their brains with the stork, when they were born, and they insist on causing everyone else wherever they are, not just behind the wheel. "It's never MY fault; it's always YOURS", these nimrods keep yelling at us (Laughs!!). Sigh, oh well.
It's good you know your way around all the mountains and passes. You remember the " paths less traveled" so you can keep moving. Smart trucker who has a great memory for the roads and which are best for specific driving weather conditions. The scenery is beautiful. Be safe Mike.
i don't know what it is about your snowy drives but i stumbled upon your channel like a year ago. clicked on one of your cool night driving through a snowy mountain pass videos intending to watch a few minutes and i ended up watching the whole hour lol and here i still am lol
My father drove an 18-wheeler when I was a child, so I've spent many hours in the cab. It taught me about momentum and braking zones. Later in life that experience has made me very respectful around 18-wheelers. It's easy to double-flash to allow them to pass and keep their momentum. That costs so little of my time. I never tailgate a semi or cut in front. Both of those maneuvers threaten my safety. I am a professional driver (on 4 wheels) so I see lots of poor drivers and some of those are in semis. That makes me even more cautious around big rigs. 4-wheel drive causes courage to rise and brains to shrink. That technology just enables better starts, not better braking or cornering in slippery conditions. Slow down people. Thanks for the videos. Very enjoyable scenery and they are instructional to those that don't have any big-rig experience.
Thanks for the trip over the pass, I haven't seen this route in the snow yet. I'm new to Denver and haven't traveled in the mountains yet in the winter. I'm 54 and grew up in the frozen tundra of Mn.... I've driven since 84 and have over 25 yrs as a plow truck ( f350 w 9' plow commercial lot's) and add in 5 yrs tow truck ( 3 in a heavy wrecker). So Thanks for the winter driving lessons for the mountains. I can't wait to see rabbit ears pass.... I know the snow system you drove through. Stay safe out there.
Just gave up my class A drivers license and retired so if I want to drive a rig I just watch one of your videos and I’m good. Keep on trucking great videos
I remember back BEFORE the IKE tunnel . My family use to go over that pass on the way to Visalia California to see the grand parents . A two lane road all the way from Denver to Grand junction . Vail pass was just a 90 degree turn at Vail pass . We were in a 58 Rambler station wagon , It would almost be considered child endangerment these days but it was exciting and fun as a kid ...My poor father though .
I thought Berthoud Pass was pretty bad in winter in a 4WD Pickup back in the days when I was there. Rather be behind a truck than in front in such weather. Worst wreck I recall was a runaway on Rabbit Ears. Truck with big farm tractor - killed the driver, picked the pieces up on 3 loads.
good to see ya again this year, I ain't seen ya since last winter, always very impressive driving!😎👏 beautiful land with the ❄️ Thanks for sharing! 😊✌️
Thanks Mike : The runners on my sledge which I attached to the back of your truck are all about worn out, so when you reach Steamboat, can you make sure I am in the loop, as I am hoping the old shop that sells to kid, is open so I can replace mine.
What a trip! Have to say that I felt anxious every now and then and remembered this is a video that I can turn off if necessary. Okay, I learned a lot about trucks and their needs while on the road. Seeing some of the dummies passing you and then appear to be slowing down is where my nerves got a little rattled. You are an excellent driver and sharing your knowledge about problems you can encounter while driving is important information for vehicle drivers. Thanks for sharing and be safe.
Very good to hear from you! Happy New Year! I'll never understand how some people get a drivers license. Have a good week! Stay safe. Stay warm. Peace be unto you as well.
Dang, that pass is 11,300 ft. up! Road looks slicker 'n' fresh snot on a crystal glass doorknob. Great video and great driving! Bet that would be a great bike road in summer months.
Amazing how city drivers will keep their sane exact driving habits on the open road. Like in 12:55. All three are bumper to bumper. The only reason why I travel at night. Their all asleep and not on the road.

Ought to go little faster,!,your gonna git in accident ,😊
Thank you for sharing this. You be safe out there okay. With my kindest truest respectful words melody aka lostgirl 💕 😊

You make that look effortless & I know it’s not…..keep driving safe & thanks for sharing your videos. ☮️
These videos are helpful for someone who has never driven in snow at all to get an idea what is waiting out there.

11 months later and I'm watching this one again, you sir have a God given talent that not many have.

I’m loving your long videos ! Please keep them coming ! Can’t wait until the next one !
Keep on Trucking Mountain Man Mike!!!!

Ever heard of automatic tire chains absolutely the best thing ever for mountain delivery in the wintertime
Your videos are a useful tool in aiding drivers on proper driving habits around large trucks.

Interesting.. would be a nice thought though.. thx
Reminds me of battery driven snowblowers. They work great for snow you could shovel by hand but are worthless for when you really need a snowblower.

I wish I had the guts to drive in this weather! Be careful and don't be too relaxed Mike. Stay safe!
No me. This is way too scary for me. 😂
You’ve proven again your skill! Enjoyed the ride.Stay safe this winter !
