We hope ya-all have a great new years eveIt is nasty enough in the summer...in winter.......Don't even think about it. You will not have to go that way if you can do the Ike tunnel... but if you must check the conditions of the pass locally with CO DOT cuz they DO close it! You'll have enough "fun" on I-70 during a storm without trying ole US 6!!! Good luck and stay safe.

May the Force be with you. Take it slow...30-35MPH while chained.
Well...no doubt you are busy...so we'll look for you on the other side. The worst looks like the Western slope, and stalling and you can drive through it...if it doesn't get too icy. It's going to be heavy just south of Denver...but you are going west.

I-25, Chains SB only Trinidad-Raton Pass
Loveland Pass via US 6, CLOSED I-70 at Georgetown, CLOSED I-70 at the Eisenhower Tunnel, CLOSED I-70 at Vail Pass, Chains I-70 at Mt Caynon, Chains I dunno know bout you, but I would be stopping right NOW and riding it out because it is obvious you won't be going very far before all of 70 is shut down.
