Eisenhower Tunnel closed yesterday – due to SNOW
Yes, closed due to SNOW. Snow in September isn’t strange for Colorado. It’s normal here. It signals that soon we will be skiing, snowboarding, and throwing the fluffy stuff at each other. Sweet sweet snow.
Apparently westbound I-70 was closed at the tunnel due to “Quick, Heavy snowfall”.
In other – very related news – Loveland and A-basin have begun making snow. I love this guy in charge of snowmaking, quoted in the news:
"We'll have 30 guns going tonight...We go and we don't stop from this point,†said Marc Abrahamson, Loveland's Snow Making Manager.
Typically, it takes 14 days from this point for Loveland to open for skiers and riders.
Yes, love is a strong word. And yes, you heard me correctly.
