Message Subject i70 avalanche in colorado caught on video
Poster Handle Draxx them Sklounst
Post Content
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.

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