The Vail Pass section of I-70 was closed for 4 hours on the evening Wednesday, March 28, due to snowy conditions on the pass.
And you know what that means – it's powdery in Blue Sky Basin.

Spring snowfall has brought Vail's base back up as well as the snow water equivalent and snowpack levels, which are now about about 65 percent of the 40-year-median.
