I'll be in my house w a blanket over my head for the next 10 days

Got to work before the shitshow, but drove into the "Heart of the Beast™" (Breck) last night to visit some friends and that was pretty entertaining. Bar hopped on Main Street like a 24 year old snowboarder. Didn't get into a fight at Cecelia's though.

I cannot bitch today. 1PM Christmas Eve. I’ve had times when it took over 4 hours.

Driving i70 was so easy today.

**Danno** · 12-25-2022, 10:30 PM

Yep

**ski-wpk** · 12-26-2022, 05:57 PM

Driving 70 was not so easy today.

**SkiBall** · 12-26-2022, 06:09 PM

Bunch of people stuck in airports and not clogging up our roads this weekend?

Really? Glad I went for the clusterfuck instead.

**joeshek** · 12-26-2022, 07:55 PM

Left at 7 from golden, back at 1 from WP…minimal traffic today.

Eastbound was closed on the way up. Anyone know what’s going on?

Well, literally a quarter million people stranded by Southwest alone...

Went through DIA on Friday and then again yesterday. Never seen so many unhappy people, ever. I only had one leg on each side and was delayed over 6 hours total. The airlines are completed fuckered.

**shera** · 12-28-2022, 08:22 PM

Hmmm, I also went through the Denver airport yesterday en route to San Diego. Half hour delay while they scrambled for a flight crew. Didn't cause any problems for me though, direct flight.

It’s been that way since 7:30am. 🤯🤯

**summit** · 12-30-2022, 05:45 PM

I'm dreading the next two days of Vail Pass

**skaredshtles** · 12-30-2022, 05:46 PM

Everybody gettin' a jump on the holiday weekend? Ima drive *back* to town mañana and am hoping for smooth sailing.

**Name Redacted** · 12-31-2022, 07:53 AM

If you are traveling I70 today, best of luck.

Also, I noticed that CDOT is naming some of the plow trucks. "Darth Blader" and "Cheese Ball" are a few. That's pretty awesome. I know and work with some of these guys on occasion and they are cool as hell. So give the plow drivers some respect. They are doing a damn good job with a shoestring budget and shitty pay. Not their fault that half the dipshits on the road have inadequate equipment and skills for driving in snow.

**Elkhound Odin** · 12-31-2022, 08:43 AM

Made it through to Abasin. Drive home should be no problem. Right?

Conditions were spicy in spots, but made it home from Basalt in about 3.5h.

I gotta say, the right lane both up *and* down Vail pass was deserted - passed several hundred cars that were crawling along in the left lane. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

3 hours from silverthorne to the tunnel last night . Can’t be sure but it looked like it was all due to semis spinning tires and not chaining up

Been a long time since I drove through the belly of the beast, but my daughter has a ski race at Keystone tomorrow. Would like to be there 7:15ish, 7:30 is absolute latest. What time do I leave Lafayette? 5:30? 5:15? Obviously need a cushion, but also don't want to get there way too early.
