"Stranafans" come from near and far for the special booze, and on Friday CBS4 interviewed a whiskey fan in the line who drove for more than 15 hours to get to Colorado.

"We drove through the night from Madison, Wisconsin. It was a 16 hour trip," said Mike Kirchhoff. "We wanted to be first in line."

Doors open at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday. There's a limit of two bottles of Snowflake per person. They cost $100 each.
