Cold start flooding @ 30ishF & 8000'
For the second time parked at a ski resort my car had trouble starting.
The first time it started without initiating the flooded procedure.
The second time I had to hold the pedal to the floor before it would light.
Just a data point.

Very interesting!
The same thing happened to me in December - Lake Louise ski resort, parking lot at ~6000', temp ~10F. Definitely wasn't shut down cold (2 hr drive to get there), sat for 8 hours... I tried to start it with my ski boots on (just push the clutch in, not too hard), and it wouldn't catch on two trys. So, I got the boots off, and had to hold the throttle down to start it - it fired up almost instantly when I did that.
The only other ski day I did with the 8 (Sunshine Village), it started no problem.
Hmmmm....
