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