Winter driving in Colorado can come with a bit of risk, as slick and snowy roads might mean getting stuck in traffic for hours at a time or even getting stranded. One piece of travel preparation that can ultimately be life-saving in a worst-case scenario involves packing a vehicle with cold weather survival gear – even if this move doesn't save your life, it's sure to make your time much less miserable should things go wrong on the road.
