A vehicle passes snow plowed high along US-6 near Loveland Pass, Colo, Thursday, Jan. 12, 2017. Avalanche danger has forced a handful of resorts in Colorado and the Sierra Nevada to close, disappointing skiers but giving the industry a golden opportunity to publicize a nice problem to have - too much snow. Some resorts have since reopened after digging out just in time for the long Martin Luther King holiday weekend. (AP Photo/P. Solomon Banda)
