Hi all, visiting Denver for a few days and brought the skis with me! Tried to drive up to A-basin yesterday but Loveland pass was closed unfortunately, so ended up skiing Loveland, which was great fun but more expensive as I have an Ikon Pass. Could one of you give me an idea of if/when the pass is likely to reopen? I'm going to go skiing tomorrow (Sunday) as well as Monday, and would really like to try A-basin as I've heard great things. Cheers!

Thanks. Apologies, my initial post wasn't very clear. I do realise there are other ways to get to A-basin, but since I'm working in Denver at 2pm, and I've estimated that going through Dillon will add another 30-45 min each way, I just won't really be able to ski A-basin for more than a couple of hours and make it back on time unless Loveland pass is open. Hence my question about the possibility of it reopening: is it likely to remain shut over the next few days?

Was stuck on Vail pass for 3 hours. Personal record. Bad decisions were made.

This has been a force of reckoning for I-70 the CO corridor, so give the credit to the plow drivers for sure.

OFFICIAL I70 BITCH THREAD....
Today was an epic shitshow. Left A Basin about 1. Witnessed probably 15-20 cars slide onto the shoulder or other cars. Most of them were 4wd trucks or 4runners with what looked like good all terrain tires. Not all were driving poorly- just any incline and the cars wanted to slide downhill. Even saw a wrangler trying to winch itself out of deep snow in the median-no idea what they were trying to anchor to. Slickest I’ve seen the I-70, slushy powdery snow over ice. Even new Blizzaks on my F150 with 400lbs weight in the bed slipped a bit at times. Had to keep it in 1st and second gear coming down most hills. Snow tires pay for themselves, all-terrain tires are not a replacement.

I kinda had to laugh when they re-opened VP the first time right as a heavy band came in. Why bother. Made it 30 minutes til they closed it again.
But hey, we have snow.

Is there really a reason to go to Scummit County besides for a slice of pizza?
I have over 2 feet of snow in front of my place, no plowing except for cdot walls about waist deep, but if you dig down, it's pure ice. Warmth. It took me quite a bit more to get out today, and the solution is to add more snow for traction. Still warm, but it's going to get honestly cold, which is bad for snow, but good for other shit.

Yeah, going through the tunnel adds 30-40 minutes.
CDOT isn't great with their updates (cotrip.org), although folks tell me their Twitter feed is pretty good.
This site is a bit more timely (links on this page for other passes as well):
