Shut the fuck up, it is warming up already. Snow is turning to rain in the mountains.

Hey Denver mags. I'm in the middle of a mountain collective tour and have to fly to Florida to see my dad who isn't doing well. Looking for recommendations for a place to leave my car while I'm gone for 5 days. It would have to be relatively safe since most of my possessions will be inside. And ideally less than airport parking, unless parking at dia is cheap on account of it being in the middle of nowhere. Close to public transport to the airport is obviously a plus

Personally, I'd park at the Pike's Peak shuttle lot at the airport, last time I was there it was $8 a day maybe? Never had any issues leaving stuff there in 20 years.

Or there are options downtown where you can park and ride light rail but don't know if there are any real advantages to it.

ETA if you stay at one of the hotels near the airport, many will offer free parking and a shuttle.

Second this. We've never had any issues there.

If you're really worried about your stuff you can park at my place and take a bus or shuttle or something. I'm all the way out by erie so it's a 35-40 min drive but your stuff would be safe in our driveway.

About 6" at my house when I left this morning at 0300. And it has been dumping all morning.

It was cold, dry, and fluffy

NOAA is calling for another 4-8" daytime accumulation at my house.

I use USAirport parking. Shuttle bus will pick you up and drop you off at your car. Should be safe. Coupons available online. Same price as pikes peak with added bonus of not having to lug your bags as much.

15" up here in Boulder and still coming down at 2-3" per hour.

Another spot-on forecast. 1-3" my ass.

Pine trees in yard getting bent over. This keeps up they'll snap! 18" so far at the house

**montanaskier** · 03-23-2016, 12:57 PM

Got to the airport at 4...flight at 7....power outage so couldn't get fueled. Power back on, finally got fueled and loaded, deiced and ready for takeoff and they couldn't get engines started. Back to the gate where the airport finally called it and shut down. Now Pena is closed so in just chillin

I always like to hang out at Elway's when things shut down. Root Down sucks! Maybe you'll get a room at that fancy new mustache hotel.

**Lightning1911** · 03-23-2016, 01:07 PM

I hope they open I-70. I need to get home to take care of my pups

Made everybody leave the terminals....

**Muggydude** · 03-23-2016, 02:20 PM

Question is when will DIA get back and running. Had a flight tomorrow at 9 am. Booked another one later in the day and one friday just in case. 24 hr refund policy comes in handy

Didn't even get to go up and ski this trip

**zartagen** · 03-23-2016, 02:34 PM

I have a flight at 6 tomorrow. Currently stuck in summit. At least this morning at the beav was fun.

Yep. I'm stuck in Denver, and can't get to my house.

**PowderHorse** · 03-23-2016, 02:59 PM

Snow in Boulder is wet and heavy, branches breaking and puddles under some huge drifts. Best snow bear/man building snow of the the year, just played outside with my 4 y/o. No one out in our hood. Didn't attempt to drive anywhere.

Friend of mine who is also stuck there said there is a 300 person wait list for the Westin DIA. Break out the cots!
