    I have an appointment in Vail Monday morning. Would I be better driving up on Sunday in the storm?

    Always a crap shoot with I70 and CDOT, but I wouldn't have much faith about the pass especially since most people have switched out to summer tires and the storm coming in heavy and wet.

    You imply that most people actually had something other than summer tires, PERIOD. I want to ski Monday, but have ZERO confidence in the roads at this time. I will take a wait and see attitude.

    Elk....the roads are going to be garbage and closed off and on no matter when you head up. Leave early and pack patience. I've got a meeting in Denver at 11 and plan on leaving Monday morning at 5 or 6. With the little bit of snow the pass has received the last 2 days it's been closed 4 different times.

    What a sucky day to have to drive I70. Best of luck to both of us, then. I'll check the conditions tomorrow morning and may go up then. Joan is pushing to stay overnight.

    Don't stress about the checkup. I think Sun is the best move if you have a place to crash. If you get into shit, there are plenty of mags who can help.

    Elk, if you guys could leave Denver by 3 at the latest, then you should be ok I think. I've decided to go down today. SW flow and then a NE flow usually stink for snow in this county but everybody is on board so I guess it's comin! Safe travels

    We'll go up later this morning. Hotels are cheap, so getting a room isn't a problem. Supposedly, the change to snow in Denver will be late this afternoon.

    Yeah, not a whole lot of snow on the way up to the basin this morning. The pass was the only area that had substantial snow falling

    How heavy and wet is it at the Basin? Is it crowded and getting tracked out?

    Looks like plenty of closures on I70 already...

    70 is closed WB and EB at different spots. I may still try to break for it in a bit or might just leave at 5 or 6 in the morning. Not snowing hard on the valley floor

    Been snowing hard since 9 in Breck. About 6 in town, guessing 10-12 up high. Not blower, not PNWet. Touring this afternoon and will get a better report.

    Got stuck at Officer's Gulch for 1/2 hour. Radio reports make it sound a complete distaster. I went back to Frisco and got a room for the night. Hopefully, I can get over Vail Pass tomorrow morning. Every time I had to travel to Vail since October I ran into a snow storm shuting down the hwy. What a mess.

    This shit is straight up slop. Changed over to rain in boulder for a while.

    Hope it's stacking up on LL pass and the Basin.
