Summit County weather report: Resorts boast 15-18 inches with more on the way
We got buried last night. Plenty of plowing, scraping, shoveling and towing is going on this morning. There was even an avalanche on I-70 early this morning on Vail Pass. Avalanche risks are very high.
All road surfaces from Idaho Springs through Vail are under an icy and snow-packed mix. As of 8 a.m., Berthoud, Loveland and Vail Pass were closed. Stay tuned for the latest updates on road conditions and weather forecasts.
Avalanche Control possible on ALL mountain passes thruout State;Many roads & passes already closed for Avalanche work

So, time to sit back and watch this snow come down. Or, better yet, go out and sink your skis in it.
The I-70 mountain corridor is locked in for an additional 1-2 FEET through Friday. Details → https://t.co/AxjNjcDPrc #skiing pic.twitter.com/7z08B2iGLt
