OFFICIAL I70 BITCH THREAD....

[Danno]

Westbound after Frisco was a hockey rink this AM around 830, multiple trucks ditched on the shoulder. The dull vs. shiny texture of the ice certainly fooled people. Also witnessed two dudes pushing their truck in the right lane in the construction zone near Empire, that couldn't have been fun.

[tangentially related post] In Boulder Canyon (so not I-70), they have been putting something on the road that causes the entire road surface to look white (is it mag chloride? if so, they must be using more than has ever been used in road history). It's really thrown me for a loop, because the road looks snowpacked and icy, but it's just white from the crap they put down. [/trp]

Dumb Texans. Ugh. The road is fucking bare!!

Came through Summit on the way to Aspen this AM. Dumb fuck delays at Idaho Sp and Frisco to Copper cost us 1 1/2 hours. 5 +hours to Aspen is the longest it’s ever taken me, even in a storm.

I guess that it was icy earlier but the 10 mile canyon delay was b/c everyone was lookylooing at 15 mph at the small trailer someone had dumped in the median Eastbound.

Then more stupid ass slowing coming into Vail.

This is what 10mile looked like when I went through and judging by how easily my blizzaks were sliding I'd say the slowdown saved some more carnage...but I imagine the residual delay sucked.

I sat in that yesterday too. Saw the trailer in the middle of the road. Figured there was a shittier accident up on vail pass.

[wolfelot]

Talk of an abandoned trailer in the median yet no reference to the abandoned boat in the interstate lane from a few springs ago?

Crazy that there were a lot of people with the same idea as you and trying to get into the mountains the day after New Years.

[Elkhound Odin]

Why is there a wreck at the Loveland exit. Fucking dumb ass drivers.
East bound crash near 40. WTF

I left Dillon to go my friend’s house near Keystone. I’ve never seen it backed up like that before. A parking lot from Dillon all the way to Swan Mtn Rd. Was that because of the Ice Castles?

This morning looks extra brutal coming up. Red and maroon line on Gmaps from basically the Lookout Mtn exit all the way through Idaho Springs. Why bother?

[summit]

Was that stop light in Dillon still broken?

Because the skiing (and traffic) is Epikonic. TM

Get a slice, a fat italian sub, a beer or two, and just hang out at jersey boyz. That's why I go there. Oh, shit, is that going to blow up too?

Last I heard Jersey boys lost their liquor license.

[Leshphilling77]

jersey boys is a shit show

The pass was closed yesterday so that is why people are saying it was so backed up but that light has been going in and out for a couple days now so that might have had something to do with it as well. I was hunkered down at home

This makes me happy. It has fulfilled my expectations in a great way.

It was even backed up before the pass closed. Someone crashed into the mechanical box a few days ago and they can’t seem to fix it.

Heard it took people 4 hours to get from Denver to Winter Park yesterday morning.

This weekend was an extra special I-70 shitshow!

Left Golden at 7, park at MJ at 930.
Ice from top of the pass down. That was sloooooow going.

All that said shit was great. Worth the hassle.

[adrenalated]

Yeah, you guys are right, it definitely wasn't worth it Saturday.

[smmokan]

Those are obviously photoshopped.

traffic wasn't bad today, actually. maybe everyone heard the horror stories from yesterday and stayed home.

I don’t know, it looks pretty Epikonic right now with dark maroon speeds by the tunnel and then by the dry roads of Evergreen, thanks to an accident closing all but one lane. That’s like a punch in the balls.

[SkiBall]

Had to go to Denver yesterday about 1p. Amazed at how much traffic was coming UP the hill. There was more going up at that time than down.
Maybe previous page already detailed. Otherwise, wtf?
