Denver (arvada) to snowmass
I will be flying into DIA and then driving from Arvada to Snowmass on Saturday September 9, leaving around noon (1/2 marathon in the morning so can't leave early). Had been planning on 70 to Glenwood Springs, then 82, but google maps recommends 70 to copper mountain, then 91, 24 to leadville and over independence pass. Would appreciate any input/opinion as to which is better.

Glenwood has ongoing major construction on a bridge immediately off the i70 exit so unless they get a ton done in the next two weeks, Indy pass is a better plan.
"The love of wilderness is more than a hunger for what is always beyond reach; it is also an expression of loyalty to the earth, the earth which bore us and sustains us, the only home we shall ever know, the only paradise we ever need – if only we had the eyes to see." -Ed Abbey
"I get scared sometimes—lots of times—but it's not bad. You know? I feel close to myself. When I'm out there at night, I feel close to my own body, I can feel my blood moving, my skin and my fingernails, everything, it's like I'm full of electricity and I'm glowing in the dark—I'm on fire almost—I'm burning away into nothing—but it doesn't matter because I know exactly who I am." from The Things They Carried

I agree with AnnaG22, take Google's recommended route over Independence Pass to avoid that construction.
