I don't think chaining is difficult, but I'm heading over the Rockies on I-70, and right now, they've got 17" so far, and it hasn't got "bad" yet...I was watching the cameras on my computer and you can't tell road from what's not road. Should be exciting
One of the most important things, and it hasn't been mentioned yet, is to make sure you have the proper clothing that will keep you dry and warm. Insulated, waterproof clothing and gloves are a must to make it bearable. It doesn't take long to get soaked crawling around under a trailer plastered with snow pack and a road covered in sloppy slush.

Your right, chaining is not difficult if you take the time to learn how to do it effectively on dry pavement and warm weather.

I'm in the same boat as you, trying to get over I-70 w/o much luck. Sitting in a hotel in Richfield, UT. A big truck flipped on I-15 and shut it down today and I took a mountain pass detour and had to chain just to get here. I have a little extra time so I'm going to do a 34hr reset and try to ride it out in a nice warm hotel room. It's suppose to snow all day Wednesday and switch to clear skis by late Wednesday to early Thursday.

Best of luck to you.

You guys make sure you have those roads clear for me by this weekend when I blow through as quickly as my 65 MPH truck will allow. Gotta get to the flatland again.

FINALLY going home. I've been out since September 25. I'll get home December 7th (if I'm lucky)
