Is ski traffic bad yet (I-70 tomorrow/Sat)?

Not enough snow up high
to bring in the ski traffic yet.

I was hiking above Loveland Pass this weekend. No issues with traffic. Easy peezy travels.
- I didn't say it was your fault. I said I was blaming you.
Re: Is ski traffic bad yet (I-70 tomorrow/Sat)?
Perhaps the timing is the difference - I always drive out to the mountains on Friday after work (or sometimes get off a little early) and traffic seems slow year-round to me. I never drive out Saturday mornings anymore...sunbleached wrote: ↑Mon Nov 13, 2023 9:04 amYeah, if someone thought this weekend was "bad", then I'm curious if "good" means literally nobody else on a major artery.two lunches wrote: ↑Mon Nov 13, 2023 8:30 amno traffic going up or coming down on saturday. november is not "leave at 5am and get off the mountain by 1:30" season, and hasn't been since about 2015.

Oh yeah I can imagine that Friday is brutal! I've driven out Sunday mornings these past three weekends on I-70 and had no issues, thankfully. Saturday mid-mornings my fiancee and I have hit up some smaller peaks in RMNP, where we've had no problems too.
