The past two days have seen heavy snow, I-70 closed on Vail Pass, and avalanche warnings for virtually all of the Rocky Mountains. It's supposed to stop snowing today and "warm" up to mid-20s in Vail tomorrow. Based on past experience, will CDOT be able to get I-70 clear and chain law lifted tomorrow? It's supposed to start snowing again Wednesday so there's only a short window to roll.

Depends on when the wind quits blowing. And a warm up makes the chain laws more likely if there's still snowpack. Snowpack at 10° is decent traction, closer to 32° it's much slicker. I've got a load that has to go over Loveland I've been sitting on since Wednesday, it's been closed for all but a few hours.

Does anyone know if chains are still required over Eisenhower right now? CoTrip hasn't updated since Saturday 2140 and most of the cameras are showing clear roads. Ridiculous.

They took it down about 1400. The bumper to bumper traffic starts in Dillon. No wind at all down here. See what it's like up higher.
