Yeah i would have gone to a basin and I was worried about Loveland getting closed and being forced to deal with the mess at the tunnel. Being able to completely avoid the tunnel is a major plus for WP in my opinion. The east bound approach up from silverthorne is where I have had some of my worst afternoons this season.

Went by that, looked like a huge pileup with a few cars sort of on top of each other!! Ice that CDOT didn't get?

70 has been closed a lot the last few days but nobody is coming up and back to complain. I'm stuck at the VP summit this morning. Same story, spin outs, crashes, cars with bad tires.

I'll complain
Coming down from the tunnel to Silverthorne was ridiculous this morning. Trucks passing slower trucks, so everything was pinched down to 1 lane (left lane) and a Prius going 25 held everyone up, plus the road was barely plowed. Actually, amazing there weren't more accidents.

Agree, but one issue is always when the left lane is clear of snow (bc everyone's over there), no one ventures over to the middle or right. I came across a long line of vehicles doing this after we had gotten past the clusterfuck of trucks. I went to the middle and passed about 15 vehicles going 30 in the left while I cruised by at 45 with no problem. Granted CDOT could do a better job plowing...

Sitting in Vail because the pass is closed as is 24. Unless you're a trucker, in which case you get the pass to yourself. Totally fucked.

I'm sitting at Georgetown waiting out the westbound closure. I'm really glad I don't have to deal with this on a regular basis.

I'm packed and ready to head east as soon as 70 opens. Per the entire winter, not much snow here but a ton east of here.

Roads are fine all the way through. There must've been a big mess to clean up.

I left at 6 and was 2 hours flat to downtown and that with the last 1/4 way up to the tunnel taking forever.

Just wanted to bitch about the rotaries in Avon...anyone else find them annoying? 4 in a row? Really?

They are called roundabouts. I find waiting at red lights for nobody and fatal t-bone accidents more annoying.

I actually love seeing more roundabouts, and not just in Colorado. Now, for the life of me, I can't figure out how people don't understand them.

My annoyance is more about how people generally don't get them and placing 4 in a row in Avon = general cluelessness for people not used to them. Was up there 2 days this week and almost got sideswiped a number of times including a guy who decided to go from the middle all the way across to exit, almost hitting me. Plus it's all being repaved...

Looks like CDOT is adding a 3rd east-bound lane from Empire to the Twin Tunnels, due to be complete next fall. $47MM of taxpayer money.... and it's going to be a toll lane. Brilliant.

A lot of good the auto billing camera ID function will be when people's license plates are coated with snow. don't see how CDOT will be able to stop people from using the express lane as a passing lane while avoiding the camera spots.

Extra lane should help. It's a band aid solution, but better than nothing.
