Skiing in Colorado is a lot different than skiing Hogadon outside Casper. For one thing it's a lot farther to the area and some interesting roads to get to them. I went to Arapahoe Basin yesterday. I drove I-70 to just east or the Denver-side of the Eisenhower tunnels. I got off and drove over Loveland Pass on highway 6. The elevation is slightly over 14,000 feet at the top. What makes highway 6 (it parallels I-70) interesting is trucks hauling anything flammable or otherwise hazardous aren't allowed to go through the Eisenhower tunnels. It's a wake-up call when you meet a truck on a highway 6 switchback carrying petroleum products or propane or similar cargo which is banned in the tunnels. It's also more awakening when the road is icy and you keep meeting snowplows as well as the previously mentioned haulers who aren't driving anything with 4-wheel drive. It is a short distance to Arapahoe Basin but it was a long nerve racking drive. Returning I took highway 6 past Keystone Resort to meet up with I-70 on the west side of the tunnels. With signs indicating it's icy in the tunnels I understand the precautions. I just wish someone had warned me.
