OFFICIAL I70 BITCH THREAD....

[smmokan]

Sweet Jesus... why?

It just kept going and going.... that’s the Colorado skiing experience for you right there, in a 12 second clip. Fuck that.

[Wildman]

Whoa.



Because some people like skiing and are willing to wait for a ride out of the base area. Everything else was on wind hold and they couldn't get to a different ski area.

Jesus -- sometimes I think people on this forum like bitching about skiing more than skiing.

Vail is flat though...

Lost a friend last winter on that road.

But the company was good I bet. And all those people stuck on the frontside.

Having 6 broken made quite the line... and everyone powder clausing it and all the kids off from school... and a lot of Denver drove up in time to beat the 7am closure because everyone knew. I heard "and then I slept in my car" about a zilion times today.

But apart from the 30 minute Gondola One line I never really stood in long lines. But the slopes did feel crowded because there is so much lift capacity and there was not a lot of room to spread out with most of the mountain closed.

It was really windy down low. There was a lot of wind fucked snow.

Is this what people call a "Shitshow"?

And then most of these fucktards get there, realize it's too windy and snow sucks, make three runs and get tired. Split, kooks!

Pretty sure this scene will be played out a lot tomorrow.

Figured we would try to blitz 70 through Central City from Boulder. Foiled by Gilpin County sheriff.

[The SnowShow]

Coming down I70EB right now with a plow escort. So aerie with no WB traffic anywhere.

No plows on the other side either. Doesn’t look like they’re even trying to get it open tonight.

isn't the only way to avoid 70 in its entirety Virginia Canyon? Or were you just trying to bypass a closure point by doing the Central City Pkwy?

[ffmedic84]

Only residents allowed going westbound.

It was our word of the day today. Everyone agrees.

Tomorrows word will be "special".

There is a way to get to 40 from central city via Idaho Springs w/o using I-70

[ski-wpk]

Roads above CC we’re pretty rough. 8-12” of new on pavement. Fun to drive but sketchy in the dark where you don’t know where you’re going. Back in Boulder. Fun 3.5 hour tour.

[Kinnikinnick]

Meet you guys at 7AM at Floyd Hill!!

Yes, there's Virgina Canyon (aka oh my god road), or are you talking about something else?

My failed plan assumed 70W would open at some point before sunset and coming from Central City Parkway, we’d avoid any bottleneck at Morrison. This was before 6 and Clear Creek Canyon reopened, and 70 remained closed. Oh well. Peak to Peak was pretty at least.

Hell yea bro!! Cook some bacon in the traffic jam, drink some beers and tailgate while we wait for the road to open?!

[Wildman]

Yeah, there’s another route.

[wolfelot]

If the interstate is closed could you mountain bike on it if just a few miles were closed?

[JET123]

I-70W open...

[concretejungle]

I-70W open...

Under 30 minutes for another closure.

The most quotes, over 10, that I heard today all shared the same word:

"Dense".

Do the math. Or Engrish.
