I drove to Breck yesterday to get a little skate in. It was snowing like crazy, but I didn't think the roads would be that bad; they were just a little wet when I left. But about halfway up Vail Pass, there were 5 or 6 accidents coming the other way. Of course it was too late to turn around then because I would've hit the traffic either way, so I decided to keep going to the skate in Breckenridge. After about 2 hours at the ice rink, the roads definitely got worse, and I heard the pass was closed due to "adverse conditions and multiple accidents." I didn't want to sit around in Breckenridge or wait until later at night when the roads would probably be even worse, so I decided to take the back way home, through Leadville. That ended up being a bad decision. It took about 3 hours to get home, and I hit multiple traffic jams. The roads were very slick, and of course there were idiots driving on them, like always. I can't believe it's snowing so much, and it's almost May! But I got home safely. Thankfully, I was driving the Batmobile (my mom's black Audi that's very good in the snow.) I guess next time I go to Breck for hockey, though, I will have to check the weather!
