OFFICIAL I70 BITCH THREAD....

[~mikey b]

My CA 108 commute to work at the ski area this morning.

[Lindahl]

Are you looking uphill or downhill?

[~mikey b]

I go both ways

Nice little shitshow showing right now:

60 car pileup on Vail Pass?

I think it's just that I-70 is cursed. Even on a dry day they find a way totally screw it up.

Can't say I've done the drive to Tahoe from the city but I'd imagine the lack of mountain passes doesn't hurt. Chain laws are probably the biggest factor though.

Total shitshow mode. Scanner is blowing up.



They are about to release WB traffic at Copper onto this. Should be interesting.

[Benny Profane]

It's amazing. I waited until about 12:30 to drive to ABasin today after the gym, so that the crust would at least have an inch or two on it. Driving up, even though it was snowing a little, the roads were dry all the way. I'm skiing from about 1 to 3:45, and, it really started to hammer about 2pm. I turn on the radio, and in that short period, both Vail pass, both ways, and the tunnel were closed. Wtf? Happens every time it snows. I refuse to drive to Beaver on a snowy day because of this, which is sad, because Beaver is fine on a snowy day.

[MakersTeleMark]

Don't worry, we'll get your uhaul up and over.

Vail Pass Trash.

Beaver is in Utah.

[Benny Profane]

Really?

[Soups]

Is this a surprise? Its been like 7 weeks since any real snow😜 People resorted back to fall mode. Bascially this is first snow shit show.

[concretejungle]

Once again I can't thank you all enough for the enjoyment that this thread continually brings me. It's gotten me through some dark days.

[montanaskier]

On the way to Denver in Tuesday morning, there was a ski boat eastbound, just east of the VP summit, facing westbound.

No, actually, just like today, all it takes is a few inches, which has happened more than once. It's striking.

Wonder if it was the same guy from last year by Georgetown

I'd love to know how many of those vehicles had real winter tires. The traction law was obviously in effect - are they ticketing?

[Benny Profane]

Ha. Tires. I'm leaving the ABasin parking lot and encounter a rough tough blinged up Cherokee facing me in the single lane coming in. He attempts to move over, and becomes hopelessly stuck in the icy snowy potholes of said parking lot, spinning his rear wheels furiously, because he didn't have awd. But, he had snow tires. Who the fuck buys a Cherokee with rear wheel drive? Benny guns his lesbian Subaru around him in ice and snow, and I have all weathers approaching the end of their lives. No problemo.

I just got back from Iceland, where all rental cars MUST have winter tires by law. I got around just fine in a crappy little 2wd hatchback last week and the conditions were worse than any I've seen on I-70 in years.

Why the fuck can't Colorado enforce something like that?

[stfu&gbtw]

just like today.

Pics or it didn't happen.

Agree. It's beyond ridiculous.
