Flying IAD-DEN
... they hold the boarding pass at the counter until the passenger arrives at the gate to claim his seat. That is what should have happened in this case. Only if it gets close to time to close the flight would a seat then be released and given to another standby down the list.

Snow Bro-ing
... Champs. After looking around Boulder some more, we headed to the mountian's to stay at Abram's Family Condo. We spent the night and then went to Copper Mountain to ski and snowboard the next day.
