Your alarm goes off at 5 a.m. Still groggy, you drag your gear to your car along with a Thermos of coffee and an energy drink, meet up with your friends and head for the hills. The sky is turning pink and orange behind you and you just know it’s going to be an awesome day, because you’re an optimist.
Then your mood takes an inevitable dent when you hit Interstate 70 ski traffic. With the help of your playlist and the camaraderie of your ski pals you make it to the mountain, but the reminder that you’ll again be stuck on the highway on your way back to Denver remains in the back of your mind as you’re ripping up the fresh powder.
It may seem like a dream to get a helicopter ride over the poor souls below in bumper-to-bumper traffic, but Breckenridge Brewery wants to make it happen.
with a grand prize that includes a trip for two in a chopper from Littleton to Breckenridge (where else?) and a two-night hotel stay April 12-14 with meal vouchers.

All you have to do is come up with a creative Instagram or Twitter post that captures how you feel while trapped in I-70 mountain misery, then post it with the hashtags #Fli70 and #Sweepstakes.
Maybe it’s a photo of your sad face pressed up against the window after hour four. Maybe it’s a video of you and the crew singing Tom Petty’s “” at the top of your lungs to kill time. Just make sure it’s legal.
Posting a video of you hiking between lanes amid highway gridlock with your skis on your shoulder probably would get you disqualified. Instagramming while driving will, too. Oh, and only one entry per person, must be 21 to enter.
The contest is open now and will be until March 29 at .
