App says "Closed due to multiple accidents, heavy snow, icy conditions and poor visibility. No estimated time for reopening. Expect long delays. Queued traffic on I-70 is currently backed up approximately 5+ miles. Road closure began February 20th, 2015 at 1:51PM."
No mention of Bigfoot. Sounds like a great way to spend a Friday though.
edit: The app also says the drive time from C470 to Silverthorne is an hour and 12 minutes. So maybe it is bigfoot.

If I go up it'll probably be to Eldora. A big weekend storm in a rough season for weekend warriors has me terrified of 70 this weekend. We're already getting closures and its only Friday afternoon.

rental cars, out of staters, bald tires, truckers with no chains, people who don't know how to drive in snow, windshield wipers that don't work you people are awesome I loved sitting on 70 with you all afternoon, to the guy who honked his horn because the car in front of you wouldn't close the 50 foot gap your the man

I'm really looking forward to the drive home tomorrow. Not.
Forecast still has the snow cranking up Sunday after noon. Should make for a good I-70 shit show.

It's not even 7am yet. Everyone in Denver knows the smart call is leaving the house at 7 sharp. Originally Posted by Bean

Denver to silverthorne just under two hours. Roads were fine until the west side of the tunnel and even that wasn't too bad. Pretty normal Saturday AM traffic. Frustrating to be going so slow when roads are dry, but that's just how it goes these days. Got a later start than planned and it went better than expected. Not holding my breath for the drive home.

Just got to summit county, where the sun is shining. Meanwhile the apocalypse was swallowing up the front range through to Idaho springs, trucks with no chains likely closed the hwy. east bound Floyd hill was a disaster. Waiting for the next storm cell.

40mph hour pace car coming down Vail pass this morning. Annoying bullshit. Barely anyone on the road and good traction. Easily a 60mph drive with goid tires.

Perfect conditions. Road was damp when I got on EB at 201, no chain law EB or WB. By the time I exited in Silverthorne WB was closed. Originally Posted by COpow
