Because 285 + Hoosier & Fremont in a snowstorm with lots of wind is probably as bad if not worse than i70.

Yeah, I have no idea why you'd go to Frisco then over Hoosier if you're in Leadville. Either go to Frisco to the tunnel, or go to BV/285.
But I would not do any of those preemptively, I'd do those if closures dictated it."fuck off you asshat gaper shit for brains fucktard wanker." - Jesus Christ

Go to Google maps and look at something like Leadville>Bailey. You'd be unnecessarily driving over divide 2 extra times just to have the please of navigating I70 from Copper to Frisco and then through Brek.
The answer will depend on true road conditions and the type of suck you prefer. I'd say have a full tank and know your decision points and know your risks. Personally, I'd run the gauntlet until I ran into a closure.

Thinking eldora might not be a bad move for tomorrow, they're still looking to get 20+ inches and could avoid the i70 inevitable shitshow...

CDOT is announcing that there will be avy control work closures tomorrow morning, this could be a good thing depending on your perspective, nice they are announcing this in advance, dont think ive seen that too often:
https://www.cotrip.org/home.htm
Mountain/Ski Traffic: Expect traction laws to be in place, your tires are your responsibility. DRIVERS MUST BE PREPARED FOR EXTENDED CLOSURES AND EXTREME WEATHER ON I-70, US 285 AND OTHER MOUNTAIN ROUTES. THERE WILL BE EXTENDED CLOSURES ON I-70 AND US 40 FOR AVALANCHE CONTROL FRIDAY MORNING AND THE POTENTIAL FOR CLOSURES THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

OFFICIAL I70 BITCH THREAD....
I rolled through the tunnel (westbound) around 1:45pm. Total shitshow (as expected) just before the tunnel where the road tilts to the right. 2wd SUV, 2wd truck (lifted) and rental cars stacking up. Had to squeeze through. Other side wasn’t much better. Was about 45min from Bakerville to the Cove.

Truth is the best time to travel I-70 is between 3:00AM-4:30AM.
1) Roads are empty.
2) A lot of police shifts are light, or not manned at all during this time (in the small towns).
3) No police means you can just drive around any closed gates. If there is a cop on duty at that hour of the night, he/she has better shit to do.
Get out early folks and stop being little bitches!
