    Oh well, I guess it wasn't as bad as it could have been. At least I got the taxes done.

    When the twins came, my ski days were reduced to almost nothing.
    I'm not sure I miss the crazy weekends, the traffic etc etc.
    I'm not convinced its worth it.

    Morrison at 6:10, Copper at 8:20. Pretty bad but certainly could've been worse.

    Today I witnessed an idiot trucker fuck up the whole flow by getting into the middle lane for the climb up to Floyd hill, Eastbound. Stopped the entire flow of passenger traffic to go 35 mph around the truck in the right lane doing 30. THIS is another example why trucks should either be held at dotsero/lakewood or should be only allowed in the right lanes during peak hours. It happens all the time westbound, you name the pitch.

    Get ready for zip line season. Another wrinkle in the i70 saga.
    I have more skis and bikes than Facebook friends.

    We were busy shredding all your powder during the week and came back non-peak hours.

    Agree. Trucks in right lanes only.
    And slow idiots going 55 in the left lane with no one in front of them...move over!!

    Heres a few tips maybe you commuters can train your fellow drivers on:

    1. Make sure you pass all the people clogging middle lane doing 50mph in the right lane doing Mach looney.. Maybe they will get the picture and move far right to go 50 mph, hopeful but doubtful
    2. Tailgate the idiots doing 60mph in far left lane with no traffic in front of them. High beam and honk if necessary.
    3. Post to Facebook to spread word that wet roads don't necessarily mean 20mph below posted speed limit, and get the F out of the far left lane! Once Again !

    This thread reminds me of I-80 through the Sierra when we used to get snow. Fucking drought.

If someone could make a jacket of those three things it would no doubt be the most popular and prized item in all of your closets.

    We already do this. It doesn't work. The obstinately clueless will remain that way.

    1:20 from garage to Copper. 1:33 from Copper to garage.
    Bonus points: I left at 3:30 on a Sunday afternoon.

    Call me crazy, but is this CDOT peak change/ take 285 instead campaign actually working?

    ^I think it's more the fact that the road is 100% dry and it's warm outside. Even when it's cold and dry people drive weird.

    Maybe. I don't know...3-4PM on a Sunday with no metering at the tunnel? Weird. Only time I hit the brakes was a mile before 40 and landing in a ~10 minute delay. Just doesn't seem....normal.

    Was the same thing last weekend. Just a little pocket of slow near 40 & 70 and the rest was golden.

    OFFICIAL I70 BITCH THREAD....

    There's A TON of people still in town in Breck. I think a lot of people are staying up. The resorts weren't that busy though, either, so I don't know. Denver is sick of traffic maybe?

    holy shit right? I went into city market around "rush hour" and it was more fucked than saturday nights. I know it's spring break time but damn it's just getting ridiculous beyond the normal growth of tourists.

    we are all getting weak, the past two winters have been a dud (except last april and may) and now we've got some of the best snow around, so suddenly everyone and their grandmother is here to get some of that sun baked, powder yesterday, weed for sale on main street, this is a tiny town, mountain fun

    I seems like every weekend that goes by gets crazier and crazier. It will be over by the first week of april. hold on its ok to use your car horn a couple times a day

    and just when you thought you saw it all and heard it all was driving from frisco to breck the other day and someone was really fucking up the flow of traffic, I breath deep, then I finally get my turn to get close to the offender, suburban, texas plates, dry as a bone pavement, tire chains smoking, loose as shit, and spitting rocks doing about 40 - 45 mph

    There was a quick "story" on the news last night about CDOT beginning work this week (?) on the west-bound Twin Tunnel expansion. Are they really going to do that right before Spring Break and during the busiest month of the ski season?

    I obviously see the benefit of expanding the east-bound tunnel since it opens up traffic to three lanes continuously after that, but I don't get the west-bound side construction. It'll go right back down to two lanes before you get to Idaho Springs, right? Essentially they're spending tens of millions on the tunnel expansion to delay the pinch point a mile or two?

    ^ I don’t think they’re expecting a bigger tunnel on WB 70 to open the traffic up. It has to be done eventually, so they’re just taking care of it while they have the frontage road detour in place.

    March is the busiest month of the ski season? As far as I-70? I doubt that.

    In any case, IIRC, the westbound tunnel work is to widen it and make it brighter, like the EB side, but I don't think they intend to add a lane.

    I think that's true, and I recall reading that they still had the "mold" for the tunnel opening.
