I flew out last Friday. Both economy and close-in lots (both East and West) were full. Had to park in the garage at $30/day. Ouch. TSA line went around the corner and into baggage claim. Crazy busy but weirdly security moved fast and I was through the line in 15 minutes.

How to enjoy a leaf peeping loop during peak weekend.
- Leave at a casual 7:30am
- Enjoy a traffic free I-70
- Stop for crowd free breakfast in Vail
- check out the Minturn to Copper loop
- return on a traffic free I-70
- laugh at the people stuck going westbound before Floyd Hill at 12:30

The security wait times FlyDenver.com shows are kind of a joke.

I've found them to be reasonably accurate (as much as I'd expect) in my somewhat limited experience.

Did similar. Out the door at 8am, 70 to Loveland Pass, then Copper to Minturn to Vail and home. A little slowing on the way back but not much and home before noon. Such beautiful colors in the afternoon. Originally Posted by Elkhound Odin

Spent a couple days in Steamboat riding bikes, and got treated to the full shitshow on the way home... left around 6:40pm and didn't get home until 10:20pm. Ended up through Winter Park to avoid the Silverthorne -> Georgetown section.

wondering what kind of shit show it will be with this incoming storm. Driving to Fruita on Thursday evening, hopefully after the shit show has subsided.

Headed down to the airport tonight to avoid the shitshow tomorrow. I was talking to some cdot guys earlier and it sound like they are gearing up for it. Good luck with that. I’ll be on the 🏖️

Indy Pass was closed preemptively for this storm. I'm guessing it was a little slower than usual with all the folks that planned to take the pass instead of 70. Originally Posted by The SnowShow

Based on the forecasts, I'd seriously consider aborting any mission up I70 for this evening. Try for tomorrow.... Originally Posted by Danno

I just found out my new employee is driving to Aspen this afternoon. I told him I-70 should be sunny and dry.
