my trip to breckenridge..........................
after slogging it up 70
by ten am all the electronic signs the town has spent millions on say no parking in town park on airport rd
the airport rd parking lot has enough people in line to fill 4 or 5 covid buses
but getting bus drivers to work for vail and who can pass a drug screen well...............
instead of following the electronic signs you opt to feel special and drive into town drive in circles and hope that because today is your day you will find some where to park in town that takes 45 mins before you give up and drive down to airport rd
then you finally get to the gondola cause you don't know any better \
that was a solid 45 min wait to get into a moist covid filled box with every ones biological matter sticking to the plexiglass
once you get dooshed out onto peak 8 like a pro you wait another 45 minutes to get on a chairlift that takes you to shit terrain
you bitch to your mates on the 6 pack and wonder why the imperial lift isn't running even though they have had consistent 15 inch dumps up there since early november
two runs in it's too cold and snowy

OFFICIAL I70 BITCH THREAD....
My typical Snowmass day.
Take the hound for a quick spin, before the the lifts open.
Talk up the smoking hottie, walking her dog.
Roll up to the VX just as it opens. Score an empty 6 pack. Rip Untacked Powderoy for 2 hours, then another hour of untracked gated terrain.
Never rode with anyone.
Maybe watch a little football and head back out late.

naw I think the fun got sucked out of breck friday around 1pm it'll be back monday morning though
my business partner was yelling at people for cutting through our parking lot this morning
another "local" thing is when you see a buddy's truck and you park as close as you can to them so they can't open the drivers side door always good for a few laughs

Sounds like I70 EB is closed at the tunnel? Silverthorne is a parking lot?

Silverthorne was fucked this evening. People trying to cut through Dillon valley just hitting an even longer line of traffic on little beaver. All time out there.

I've been out of loop lately with traffic cdot/google/waze shenangians, wife was going to bring the kids up to basin for a few hrs into close while I get in a hike. Google telling us she has to do i70 to eisenhower and up 6 @ Loveland. Abasin website has orange banner US 6 E open to Abasin. Is this some ploy by cdot and managers at google/waze to redirect front ranger traffic patterns? Not seeing any cdot closures listed. Legit avy/control just prior to abasin or this a measure prevent backup near loveland i70 merge?

My experience navigating around Routt and Grand Counties during the StormPocolypse is that none of those online resources work very well. This was verified by the State Trooper I talked to and traffic being stopped on roads that showed as open and vehicles getting through on roads shown as closed.
Also of note, it appears Grand and Eagle County and going to proactively close Trough Rd. when Vail Pass closes as this is the Waze/Google Maps route around. That road is a bit gnarly for the unexperienced and help can be a long ways away.

Somewhere up above Idaho Springs there is a great sign at the junction of a 4wd road and an asphalt county road that reads something along the lines of: GOOGLE IS WRONG THIS IS A HIGH CLEARANCE 4WD ROAD IF YOU HAVE A STOCK VEHICLE DO NOT DRIVE THIS WAY

Had a long drive to Western Eagle County and back on Saturday. So much stupid on the roads. Reminds me why I never leave our neighborhood on the weekends. Why the fuck do people do that to themselves every weekend?

Unfortunately, there is plenty of stupid in my neighborhood. I think the key is to never let your guard down. Assume everything is gonna be busy all the time and the actions of others will be unbelievable. Allow yourself to be pleasantly surprised and celebrate the small victories.

Great idea, but unless they physically block that road, Stupid, unprepared drivers will disregard. I saw first hand cargo van and 18 wheeler carnage during the Feb 2020 I-70 shutdown. I still wonder how the jackknifed rig blocking the road at the summit was removed.
