Thank you

Thank you to those amazing people who came to our assistance on Widernest this evening in the snow/ - we are eternally grateful!

It sounds like you had quite an intense experience in the snow at Wildernest! Big thanks to the people who stepped in to help—moments like these really show the strength and kindness of the local community.

It’s always heartwarming when strangers or neighbors come together during challenging weather. Being stranded or needing assistance in snow can be stressful, so having others there to lend a hand makes a huge difference.

For anyone planning to travel or spend time in Silverthorne or surrounding mountain areas in winter, a few tips can help make situations safer and less stressful:

  • Keep an emergency kit in your vehicle, including blankets, snacks, water, a flashlight, and a shovel.
  • Check road and weather conditions before heading out, especially during heavy snow or icy periods.
  • Have a charged cell phone and share your route or expected arrival time with someone, just in case.

Even with precautions, sometimes situations happen where help is needed. It's wonderful that the community came together for you. Remembering to pay it forward next time you see someone in need in these winter conditions helps keep everyone safe and supported.

Silverthorne and the surrounding mountains can be magical in winter, but it’s always good to stay prepared and grateful for the helpful people around.
