So there I was...I came back from a hike up Second Creek....https://www.skyhinews.com/news/dump-...ries-reported/

[shera]

[The SnowShow]

Saw online that a semi is stuck in Marble at the beginning of the 4x4 road to Crystal Mill bahahaha

There's a "No Access to I-70" sign in Crested Butte on the road to Gothic... I can't imagine the idiot that created a need for that to exist.

Right? And I think there’s one on the Marble side as well. The pic I saw was the semi stuck on the Marble side right where it says “4x4 only”. How do you even make it that far!

[Name Redacted]

You'd be surprised how capable some of those semis are. It is usually the trailer that gets them stuck. I have a buddy who gets a huge crane into some pretty impressive spots for work.

Hwy 82 into Aspen was backed up, most of the day. Last night APD had a squad posted at the roundabout, to turnaround any semis trying to go over Independence Pass.

They're closing eastbound today again at 11 for a couple of hours to finish the cleanup from yesterday.

Fuck the assholes out there going 70 and crossing the solid lines to pass in a construction zone. You’re the reason people get killed.

They are the biggest assholes of all.

3-6” for front range high country by Sunday? How many times will vail pass close? How many boats will be abandoned? I’m guessing 2-3 on both

There are 7 no trucks over 35' including ones that blink at over length truck detected on your way to Independence Pass.. alas a handful a year still get chased down by the Sheriff's Office.

just here to report back about the magical powers of 70
since east bound was closed this morning the drive down was heavenly no traffic no trucks nobody
then I donkey punched myself over and over west bound at 1pm was misery
every body is getting after it on this fine september eve I found myself feeling like a front ranger

epic upslope in the making summit 1 inch front range foot hills 33 inches

^^^ 1pm traffic? Does anyone fucking work?

[Danno]

friday is the new saturday till everyone starts following amazon and asking for butts at desks in the office they are climate controlling

[FrankZappa]

Fredson?
Is yer dad Tom? In that old broken down green van in the town below Old Dillon, by the river, that closed the Moosejaw every single night? Back inthe 70s-80s

5 million people live in the Front Range. So about 1 in 60 of the 300million that live in the US. A busy traffic day is 50k vehicles though the Eisenhower Tunnel. The population of Grand,
Eagle, Summit and Routt Counties is something like 100k. Its a capacity challenge.

Its not "fuck, everyone is going to the mountains" its "fuck, the world is a busy place...we've got one road that goes where I want to go and a bunch of people that want to do what I want to do".

Maybe it is nobody works Friday or maybe its a bit of flex schedule, remote, taking a half day, STR with friends, on vacation from out state, just driving through and so on and so on.

And then you consider bottlenecks like the City Market in Fruita. Yeah, no shit they are outta kombucha. And yet, I went on a MTB ride at 4pm yesterday in Idlewild/Rendezvous and saw 3 people. And at 5:30am on a Saturday, there is zero traffic.

So either "if you can't beat them join them" or play a bit of chess. Most of these basic bitches can't even play checkers. They'll lounge around in their PJs then line up at the Starbucks for their PSL, the girls doing that uptalk thing and the guys just trying to find their nuts.

Broncos play tomorrow at 11am. Do you think they can watch the game and still beat traffic?

I70 is a big beautiful valve that protects the mountains from overcrowding. As people adapt, days other than weekends will become busier, but as foggy points out, people will still get up here and do basic shit. Wanna see the troll? Hike Aspen Alley? Ride Aspen Alley? You are gonna have people problems. There's tons of other shit to do though that doesn't involve a million of your franger neighbors.

I got out on the motor bike at 4p yesterday. Did a big loop above treeline and saw one other car and a sxs after I hit dirt in probably 20 miles. Tons of open campsites too.

Wife spent 5 hrs on I70 trying to get to/from work because of the mess in Avon. So she did not fare so well...

[Leshphilling77]

took me 2 hrs 45 minutes to play 9 holes last night at keystone ranch. these people just like doing things slowly so i70 traffic is right up their alley.
