They close it a lot during storms because of wrecks/conditions.


Are you talking about i70 itself or some other road? I will be driving to Vail next Thursday and snow is in the forecast. If it's closed is that like an all day thing or just for a few hours?

Depends how bad it is but usually a few hours. I go to the mountains every weekend & it’s rarely a problem. Use Cotrip.org for road updates

It's I70. Altitude goes up over Vail Pass, so the roads can get a little sketchy and there are elevated roadways on the way into Vail. The big thing is the like 20-30 miles between the Copper Mountain/Leadville exit and the first Vail exit. No great ways around either, since you'd have to go over Fremont and Tennessee pass to bypass it.

Depends on how long it takes to clear but it takes a pretty good snow storm to be a long issue. Watch Loveland Pass/Tunnels too for closures.
