Yes, that merge is short. Awesome planning.

Lots of alternatives were looked at. Current configuration is pretty smart from construction perspective. My friends are doing the bridge designs and they have some super cool models of it.

That would be cool to see. All for it if it does help that horrific bottleneck. Although, does it then move the bottleneck further west to some other point, like the top short merge near Empire?

70 was nutty tonight. Saw at least 25 cars off the road between Boulder and Winter Park. 11 on Berthoud alone.

Google maps says I70 Westbound is closed at multiple points between Denver and Vail until 1230PM, is that really so?

**The SnowShow** · 05-21-2022, 07:34 AM

I think it’s closed WB at Morrison and Gtown. Country club day.

**summit** · 05-21-2022, 07:37 AM

Makes me wish Abasin had more terrain open. It might not be crowded but it'll track up

Might skin Keystone.... 14" at the base!

CAIC: Considerable hazard, storm slab

**summit** · 05-21-2022, 08:23 AM

US6 is backed up from the upper Abasin lot all the way into Keystone

That isn't entirely true. Winter does help with the timing of traffic. Peak and off-peak times are more predictable. And overall volume is lower.

Plus, you're skiing, which helps, because skiing.

Yeah - but throw in the weather wild-card and you've evened the playing field (sorta).

You're not wrong about this. Unless you're stuck in traffic trying to get to skiing.

Most are just hitting the most popular trails, hiking or biking a few miles and riding the lifts/playing at the Adventure parks, and buying t shirts in Breck. Just go a little farther out and it’s still untamed and wild out there. Honestly, not sure what you were expecting moving to Summit, a place 60 miles from a metro of 3 million people.
