    We drove from Stapleton to Aspen in February 1969. Took all day.
    Loveland, Vail Pass and Glenwood Canyon were all super slow.

    I have gotten stuck there
    was about 15 mins long not bad
    something went sideways a week or so ago and it looked like 70 was shut down for 6 hrs on a wednesday I almost went down that day

    the shit part is when traffic restarts and you are suck behind all the dips who sit in the left lane and can't go the speed limit or won't pass it's maddening
    then a semi passess another semi on gtown hill for the win I just cut the mother fucker off no respect for semis anymore
    took me all the way to the top of Gtown hill to get out front and then it was smooth sailing plenty of sketch right hand passes were made

    I hope that is the new standard operating procedure.

    They did close Loveland Pass last night.

    Right. How about just enforce the existing chain and traction/tire laws, give the "improper mountain driving" tickets and so on.

    Its just a strange reactionary CDOT Hot Take. I'll take a chained up Safeway semi with a driver that drives over Berthoud 5 nights a week than an SUV with banana peels piloted by a clueless flatlander.

    So the highway isn't fricking closed when we need to go to the airport or a Denver hospital or when the fuel and grocery supply trucks are trying to get up.

    Leave now!

    We are the clown show. I love how the messaging is now "It will be fucked!". Gone are the days of "avoid peak times" "expect delays" "have good tires and be prepared".

    Good luck!

    To be fair they were probably going like 25 mph. But I just spent a few hours in a busy national park with people walking around with phones on sticks everywhere and not even watching where they were walking so I cannot argue your point.
