I do my best to avoid I-70 when there is any sign of snow in the forecast. There are too many folks from out of state that don’t know how to drive in snow and have basic all season tires with no chains. I have winter tires for both of my vehicles.

If I really want to go to Breckenridge, I’ll take hwy 285. There is traffic there as well but a lot fewer people, from out of the state, drive there.

The drive we would take from Denver to the ski resorts always happened early Sunday morning. For about 25 trips I only remember running into weather related traffic twice... and only once was it at a near standstill. I've never taken Hwy 285 mainly because I know how my wife would feel if any road we're on is very close to the edge of a sharp drop off to a deep ravine. She almost lost her mind when I once took our car over Swan Mountain Rd on the south side of Lake Dillon between Keystone and Breckenridge. She always thinks I'm driving too close to the edge of any road when I'm in the mountains. Perhaps I'd feel the same way about her driving if I was in the passenger seat and the roads were icy. :scratch:
