Most of them should just stay the fuck off the road, beyond that it's how the truck is equipped. Straight truck with good tires, differential and inter-axle locks are a whole different ballgame than...

Are you volunteering to spend a couple hours rebuilding my chains every day? We run through the tunnel or over loveland pass 6-14 times a day x 7 trucks. I have never once needed chains on the...

As much as I hate cdot, I genuinely appreciate their new system. Mild = sit and wait, moderate = take a good lunch break, serious, severe, extreme etc. = take a nap, or if possible, go home.
I just...

You choose to live here, you choose to go skiing when everyone else does. Why should anyone have to cater to the choices you make?

What always amazes me is about 20% of the time I drive past that area, someone is parked there.

Don't speed maybe? You made the decision to exceed the posted speed limit. They probably just didn't know how important and special you are.

From my experience they essentially rounded up all the unemployed meth heads in CCC gave them a truck and some signs and told them to have fun.

No construction, no strange merges or lane changes, still was faster to take frontage road.

Two lanes the second it snows with 70% of traffic paying for toll lane because they can't see the lines and the left "lane" has less snow. No one is gonna drive a foot from the guardrail in shitty...

That's the idea. People don't go there for the quality of the snow.

Everything on the west side is just national forest, on the east side the wilderness starts more than halfway up the valley.

If Clear Creek were smart, which we aren't, we would be doing everything we possibly could to get permits from the USFS up Guanella and trying to sell the idea to Vail Resorts etc. There is access...

Pure dumbassery/possible brake system malfunction. I was maybe 5 minutes ahead of it, coworker had to swerve around as it happened.

Perfect conditions. Road was damp when I got on EB at 201, no chain law EB or WB. By the time I exited in Silverthorne WB was closed.

Say your business sells eggs. Due to whatever reason the egg truck couldn't get on the highway until 6 am. Peak traffic is between 6:30 and 11 am. In peak traffic with snow your eggs wont arrive...

Absolutely, they've stepped up enforcement this year. A lot of it just comes down to the driver being competent, it's very easy to get a CDL.

Well, duh. Lets just ban all commercial traffic so recreational users can get to their destination 5 minutes earlier. Let's punish the people making a living driving because Dipshit and his family...

CDOT does a fucking incredible job given the complete fucking retards they have to deal with.

Eastbound also, I probably drove 4 miles past bumper to bumper cars while going 45 (big truck) in the right lane today going up to the tunnel. I would go insane without the powder express lane.

I drive Silverthorne to Breck 5-10 times a day, shits getting old.

Main reason was to allow for expansion of 70, was also in shit shape.

Heh.
bridge completion could be delayed as late as mid-January instead of late-November

Watch this turn into a mid spring completion date due to weather, holiday and production delays.

I really wish people would figure out how to use 3 lanes when it's snowy, I was doing just fine coasting down at 70ish until I hit a similar (possibly the same) clusterfuck.
