It always seemed like prime territory. Barring anyone being injured... pretty amazing. Gangbang at the old folks home. Senile sex slaves are making me moan. |

No estes park is up by RMNP. This was east by copper mountain in the i70 corridor. If i remember correctly its past the eisenhower tunnel.

I’m more worried about the rock slides along 36 when the snow melts up here by Estes Park. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 77374864 United States 03/06/2019 11:40 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The TWO different slides came down from different parts of the mountain above I-70. I-70 in that spot has LOTS of traffic on it on Sunday Afternoon, the time when the second avalanche occurred, with skiers from Vail/Beavercreek and Copper Mountain all heading back to Denver after a weekend of skiing up in the mountains. Luckily nobody was hurt, but from other video it took a while to dig out some of the vehicles that had snow up to the windows on their car doors. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77374864 This can also be dangerous. A family died once when they sat in an idle car while dad dug out the car. The carbon monoxide went under and then up through the car and killed the family. Sitting in an idle car buried in snow can be lethal. |

In my 20 years of living here I have never seen an avalanche at this point in the highway. We've gotten way more snow this year than in several decades. There are avalanches all over the place - on purpose and spontaneous. Berthoud Pass, Loveland Pass, Wolf Creek Pass, and Lizard Head Pass were all closed a couple days ago. Never seen anything like it. |

User ID: 16533322 United States 03/06/2019 11:52 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | There were actually TWO (2) avalanches right at the same spot on I-70 between Copper Mountain and Frisco (below Eisenhower tunnel just before going up over Vail Pass). One in the morning, which just sent a big cloud of snow over I-70, and once that cloud dissipated with just an inch or two so on the road the traffic resumed, and a SECOND avalanche in the afternoon which put up to 3 feet of snow on parts of the Interstate.

The highway was closed in both directions at the Eisenhower Tunnel. |

Lots of alternating light and heavy snows basically keeping lots of layers of snows rather than it settling down into one packed snow. Gangbang at the old folks home.

User ID: 73899585 United States 03/06/2019 12:33 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I used to live in Utah. Road-blocking avalanches are a frequent occurrence in Little Cottonwood Canyon which leads to the unbelievably fantastic ski resorts Alta and Snowbird. These are located in the Wasatch Range just outside of Salt Lake City. The mountains are situated just right, blocking weather systems which dump tremendous amounts of moisture in the form of snow as they move east. The Utah Dept of Transportation and Ski Patrol use World War II M101 Howitzers to intentionally trigger avalanches, after which they will clear the roads with massive front loaders. if you have never been in this area, it is well worth the trip any time of year. For those who enjoy the outdoors, it is an absolute gem. |

For those who enjoy the outdoors, it is an absolute gem. I lived there back in the 80's. I was skiing Alta one Sunday and it was dumping on us. At 4:00 PM, we went to leave, noticed few vehicles in the lot (I guess everyone heard and scampered down before the avalanche gates close. The snow was halfway up the door on my Chevy S-10 Blazer. The road had been closed and had to sleep in the lodge for night. Called down to work on Monday, telling them I couldn't get off the mountain, then helped dig out the lifts and had the best ski day of my life. Besides the few guys who lived up there, there were perhaps 25 skiers. Ah, the good old days. A ticket at Alta was $15 for the day. |
