When you arrive at a ski area parking lot, you should anticipate winter conditions, including snow, rain, ice, sleet, and generally slick conditions, often in low-visibility conditions. Give yourself additional time and walk with extreme care, keeping your nose over your toes and your hands out of your pockets for balance. Do not carry too much equipment and wear suitable winter footwear with traction.

Driving Conditions

Colorado winter driving conditions can change quickly, especially in higher elevations like Vail Pass and the Eisenhower Tunnel. While the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) and our local Garfield County crews work hard to keep the roads clear and safe, it’s essential to stay prepared. Check CDOT’s website for the latest road conditions, closures, and travel advisories along your route. Make sure to review Colorado’s Traction Law to ensure your vehicle is winter-ready. Remember, conditions can shift rapidly—what begins as a dry morning could turn into snow-packed roads by afternoon, or vice versa. Stay alert and plan ahead.
