OFFICIAL I70 BITCH THREAD....
I know nothing about keeping a highway open at 11,000’ during a big storm, but I got to thinking yesterday while waiting out the closure: wouldn’t it make sense for CDOT to track the storm and specific cells and proactively close segments of the road (IE the tunnel approach) when snowfall of 3”/hour is headed that way? Or close the roads on the half hour or hour during big events, to run a line of plows up and down to try and keep up, instead of what’s done now: let the shit hit the fan with hundreds of stranded vehicles, many sitting stuck on an incline, while the storm rages on, while tow trucks or emergency vehicle somehow make their way up to help. I mean, I heard people were stuck for 3 hours between S-Thorne and the tunnel with kids! WTF.
But what the fuck do I know.

They did avi work on VP on Saturday and apparently lost a charge that didn't go off. Could be wrong, but think they had to track it down in a shitty location. That would be a shitty task.
Delayed re-opening for a bit.

Another thought would be to just stay off the fuggin' highway that reaches an elevation of 11,100'...... Ya know, Winter Storm Warning issued, 2'-3' snow forecasted, "very difficult to impossible travel conditions" detailed. Nah.....that would make way too much sense! I got some new Soul 7s and an Ikon pass to use!
Old's Cool.

Yeah the beater skiers with improper tires are an issue, but I70 thru-travelers & truckers unaccustomed to snow probably just don't know what they are in for.
I mean, don't they have plows that clear all the snow off? I'll be fine.

They need to let the buses use the Express lanes and the breakdown lanes, where it’s feasible.

What a clusterfuck. Even though LL Pass was clearly closed, the driver tried to go anyways? The rest of their adventure is par for the course... especially if they plan on leaving downtown at 7:30 on a Saturday.

Do you really think they were that many full boat ticket payers on that bus? You may be right, I don’t know. But it does seem like they were at least partially compensated for the hassles they endured...
”Ace Express gave riders full refunds of their round-trip fare ($25), along with gift cards worth $25 at A-Basin. In addition, CDOT said it will issue riders $15 vouchers for future trips.”

How do you not see the bright illuminated signage saying Loveland Pass Closed or have the knowledge as a driver that when there’s 24” of new snow, the pass will be closed. Fucking amazing.

Drive up this morning was fine. Going up Christmas week is easy because everyone comes up 70 on different days. It'll be a different story when everyone tries to come back next Sunday night
