Wrong turn at the resort?

Short cut to the resort bar? Or maybe back to the chalet?

Hmm....

Late Monday night, officers from the Truckee office of the California Highway Patrol were called to the Northstar California Resort north of Lake Tahoe after a Jeep Wrangler SUV became stuck on the slope.​

​

Ski Slopes Aren’t Roadways Late last night, CHP Truckee officers were called to an unusual scene — a white Jeep stranded on Northstar California Resort's ski slope. Turns out, this driver’s idea of a “hotel shortcut” was anything but… and a few drinks didn’t help their navigation skills. With assistance from NorthStar’s incredible crew and their snowcat, CHP officers made their way up the slope. After investigating, the driver was arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence. Stoke meter? 0% Arrest meter? 100% Remember: Alcohol impairs judgment and driving ability. Don’t let a poor decision turn into a costly mistake. Plan a sober ride and help keep the roads — and ski slopes — safe for everyone. NEVER DRINK AND DRIVE and leave the “first chair” to the skiers! #CHPTruckee #DontDrinkAndDrive #DesignateASoberDriver #PowderDaysNotJailDays #WrongKindOfLiftTicket #FirstChairToHandcuffs #FirstInLineBrah​

Simple rule,

Don't drink when you drive and don't drive when you drink.

Not complicated.
