No its not.. go to here http://cotrip.org/home.htm. I70 is defiantly open through Silverthorne
I understand it as he is saying US 6 is closed east bound(from Silvethorne) and West bound from Loveland.
Looking on cotrip.org US 6 from Silverthorne to Loveland is colored black for adverse conditions. It also has two closed symbols on it. I could see how someone could interpret it as all of US 6 being closed.
They're blasting the 7 sisters east of Loveland in the morning so 6 will be closed from Loveland to (probably) the CDOT building uphill from A-Basin. It would be nice if they left access open from A-Basin to the top of the pass for some Pass Lake shots, but I doubt it.
Blasting info source: CAIC
I apologize for the confusion/fuck up. Here is what I was looking at and I meant US 6 East and West, as was deciphered from my detail-challenged message above.
Just interpreted this as no access to A-Basin since it lies slightly inside the 'road closure' icons.

Hey fucksticks. STFU about the traffic and I-70. No one gives a shit about how you get to A-Basin. This is the weather thread.
OMG OMG!!! HOW THE FUCK DO YOU GET TO ABASIN WHEN THE PASS IS CLOSED!!!?????
Did anyone get up on Vail Pass yesterday? How much are we lookin at up there?
^^ not enough

That pic was in a drift and heard the summit didn't see a ton more than the 12 at mid. I might skin uber early before work...just for exercise and see what it looks like. I'll bet they'll pull the cats out to try and preserve that pretty soon.

vp closed, and snowing in edwards.. yeeeeeee
Anybody peeped Berthoud??? It looks like CDOT just put up chain restrictions that doesn't happen all that often. THe Snotel site at the summit is not reporting accurately.
I was up there today. They closed the pass for about 2 hours 'cause I guess some trucked rolled but it cleared out. Didn't have a probe so not sure the exact measurement, but pretty much allllll day it was knee to thigh deep. I was in the trees skiers right of HHA all day. epic day to say the least. Going to post a few shitty camera phone pics in the berthoud photo thread here soon.
