Interstate 70 at Vail Pass will close at 10 a.m. today for avalanche mitigation.
“This new snow fell on top of an already weak snowpack,” a forecast on the Colorado Avalanche Information Center’s website reads. “The snowpack is at a critical tipping point.”
The fresh snow and increasing winds Thursday, up to 50-mph gusts in some areas, will continue to blow snow around and create a slab that could overload weak buried layers of snow. says these mitigation efforts are meant to reduce the risk of avalanches. Once a highway is closed, crews will bring down the unstable snow from the mountainside and clear snow and debris from the roadway.
