Ha, I ended up leaving 2-3 hours early on Thursday, got out maybe 1:30pm? Managed to avoid all shit shows. There was an accident on top of Vail Pass, and the west side was a little dicey, but other than that, it was smooth sailing. No idea what happened later, but everyone in my crew did make it to Fruita that night (the Salida peeps had to go through Saguache because Monarch was closed).

as much as I bitch about cdot and 70
the new frisco to trailerthorne i70 lane is about to open and it will be a pleasure to drive very nice job
drove deep into adams county today and 70 was a joy up and down
granted I was overloaded to the max and took my time heading up the hill
Vail Pass WBI70 closed due to heavy snow. Bring it!!
Quite the early season display on west side of wolf creek yesterday morning around 11 - to be fair it seemed like it was a quick pulse of snow that sent conditions south, but from truckers to tourists not many folks were ready for prime time.
Today was a complete shit show. That is all.
The usual bullshit.

@I70things on IG is gold today.
There is one stuck on Berthoud pass as well. Right in the middle of a switchback with no chains. There was no way he was making it up or down with no chains. No idea what is going through these guys minds.

Sounds like there were also some small avalanches across US40 on Berthoud…a few cars got caught.
Not surprising. Wind was gnarly today. I was out around Grand Lake snowmobiling and the road cuts were very reactive.
Oversized truck slammed into a bridge by I70/US 6 in Golden. Shitshow.

Looks like someone picked the wrong week to quit amphetamines.
So westbound silverthorne exit went from two lanes to one now. Creates a shitshow that back up onto I70. Nice work guys. How many millions did that cost?
the third lane down to trailerthorne is the bomb
yeah the exit is a screwy after 30 years of exiting one way now it's different so it does suck but
traffic exiting the frisco exit a few days ago was backed up past the rest area
nice to just keep going and hit the 2nd exit
walked to happy hour the other day and I walked faster than the cars were moving in breck
this time of year takes patience an with shit ass snow it takes even more than normal
Can you imagine coming here (or any other winter destination really, other than AK and Europe) and dropping thousands of dollars for this shit skiing, as well dealing with the crowds? Fuck that.
As someone who have been sucking on the ski town economy tit for decades, I think about it more like "can you imagine if they didn't?".
But yes, there is a certain weirdness to the fact that people pay tens of thousands to come to a ski area, wait in lines everywhere, for a half open ski area yet I won't even drive into town let alone go to the ski area for these three weeks.
