CDOT released renderings for the Floyd hill construction. Sounds like construction will run 2023 through 2027. Get ready!
...

Yeah, it’s late April. This is pretty uncommon

Lots, but the crazy thing is that the road is just wet. It isn’t even icy/snowy. There’s not even a chain law in effect. I don’t understand this one at all.

Looks like 2 hrs+ from silverthorne to the tunnel right now. Ugh!

I remember when that happened! Alas, Loveland is not cool enough to do something like that anymore.

this also means Loveland will likely not open since most of their employees come from CCC

the correct move for Sundays at A-Basin (if you have to go east) is to bounce from A-Basin at around 2 and go to Loveland for power hour.

I don't know, there are worse places to be in the Denver metro than a mile outside of Cherry Creek State Park.

Weird, I didn't experience that. I left Loveland at around 4:40pm and was home in SE Aurora by 6:00pm. For reference, that drive is usually 1:10 without any traffic whatsoever.

Traffic not too bad this morning 1:20 from southeast aurora to Loveland leaving at 5:40

Agreed. Loveland kicked ass today.

Sitting in standstill traffic. Maps says 1:30 from Baskerville to Loveland

1:40 from a basin to Loveland on Loveland pass just now.

LOL, the Wasatch is cool, all 30 miles of it...

Don't you live in Keystone?

Its true. Colorado freakin' rocks. Denver has the perfect combination of fantastic employment opportunity, solid access to the mountains and incredible weather (all year!). I would say it is the...

From my anecdotal observations, the toll lane does exactly what it was set out to do and I applaud CDOT for their efforts. I think it is an extremely valuable addition to the corridor and I am...

Yeah, it is really nice that google maps no longer directs people onto that road when there is a backup on I70.

I don't know. Maybe I really need to take a hard look at my own knowledge and practices, but there is no way I would look at an avalanche forecast that points out only the potential for relatively...

Not really cleared up, but I obviously have less avalanche education than you. I have always thought of a hard slab avalanche that breaks on facets near the ground as a deep persistent slab...

This is a false equivalence.

Triggering a DPS avalanche, i.e., a low probability high potential consequence event is not the same as driving like an asshat on an icy road.

This is...

Look, I’m not saying this guy is not an idiot in general. I have no idea who he is or what he did in the past. I just don’t think that his behavior in this instance even approaches gross negligence...

This is ridiculous. It is CDOT's responsibility to protect the tunnel and the road. They can do that using control work and/or closing off the area to access. If the area was not closed to access...

I’m also sitting in traffic hoping we can at least get a couple hours in at a basin.

Nope lift ops were there, digging out and ready to go. Management pulled the plug on the entire day at 10 AM

Can I bitch about Loveland in this thread too. They can’t open a single lift all day but a basin somehow had Pali open at 9? Something told me to keep driving this morning....should have listened to...

I think its silly that so many schools canceled today. The roads were fine this morning and not even slick. Its interesting to see the changes over the recent years regarding the conservatism among...

I agree with you on the frontage between GTown and Empire, but the frontage between bakerville and plume is almost always faster (at least on weekends)

Just an FYI, it appears that someone told google maps that Silver Valley Road is closed through the end of November so it won't route you that way. However, it is not closed, and you should always...

Construction began in July on the WB peak period shoulder lane from twin tunnels to empire. I, for one commend CDOT for at least doing something with the limited resources offered by taxpayers. I...

We left CB at 6:30PM yesterday and cruised back to Denver in 4 hours. The key to dealing with summer traffic in CO is enjoying the day in the mountains on Sunday prior to driving back.

Aaron, I am for all of the things you suggest (except maybe the heavy vehicle hold...commerce is one of the most important functions of the interstate highway system).

Improvements should be...

This was a conscious decision. I love Denver for what it is, i.e., the best combination of economic opportunity and outdoor recreation on this continent. I totally understand why so many people...

I love how all the butt-hurt summit county "locals" think they can take a public road paid for by tax dollars and restrict use of that road to themselves and their friends.

YOU chose to buy an...

Every infrastructure project is "kicking the can down the road", but that doesn't mean its not worth doing. The needs of an area evolve over time, especially in a growing economically prosperous...

Disagree, Adding additional lanes and tolling them seems to work well at reducing overall traffic in the Denver area. Traffic used to back up EB from empire to Floyd Hill without the toll lane. Now...

Bitch all you want, but until Coloradans vote to fund beefing up our infrastructure, this is the new normal. This shit is fixable and self-inflicted. Imagine if Coloradans never supported the...

This right here is the fundamental flaw of TABOR. People are inherently selfish and will not vote for something that raises their own taxes unless it directly benefits themself. This is the reason...

This. I voted for both for this reason, although 110 was clearly the more responsible choice.

and fuck TABOR.

Coloradans also voted against school funding. And the tax would have only...

Ikon/Winter Park is the way to go. Loveland sucks. Its flat, cold, and windy.

You clearly have not a clue how tabor works, despite your claim that it is “one of the greatest things out there”

Yep. TABOR looks great on paper, but the problem is that people are inherently selfish and will only vote for a tax increase that would fund something that personally benefit each individual.

It took 1:30 to get to Loveland from Denver this morning. Thanks for spreading the butt-hurt to get people off the roads. Loveland opened more of the steps yesterday. I’ll ski the pow, while the...

Honestly, Denver has room to grow in this realm. The city doesn't use anywhere close to the entirety of their water rights.

good work...you are part of the solution. Do you support TABOR?

I agree that I made a generalization that isn't true of all. However, i would bet that most of the people who support tabor also...

The people who bitch at CDOT for proposing a band-aid fix are probably the same people who either voted for or support TABOR. CDOT is doing what they can with the shit funding we offer them. ...

Go anywhere more than 5 miles from a trailhead that is not a 14er and you will find solitude even on the busiest of summer weekends....ok, you may have to go 10 miles to find solitude at an alpine...

Usually sales taxes are added to a purchase price. If a lift ticket costs $120 and an 8% sales tax is added, the lift ticket would cost $129.60.

Obviously the price of the lift ticket would...

Also a very good option. However, we all know that no new statewide taxes are viable under TABOR because Coloradans are cheap bastards who will allow the entire state to crumble before giving any...

there already is a sales tax on those items
