GoI70

Wet snow on the east side of the divide made the ride back to Denver quite unpredictable on the last day of February. Until mid-afternoon Sunday, it had been a very quiet – though busy – weekend for I-70 travel. As always, a little snow can make a big difference if drivers don’t adjust.

For those of you who were closely following our Guess the Mess contest, most of the afternoon it looked like the peak delay would be around 4:28 which would have made the vast majority of the entrants very close indeed. Then late in the afternoon a series of accidents brought travel to a halt. The peak delay as calculated by the GoI70 computer from CDOT data was at 6:46 when there was a 119 minute delay. In fact none of our players were so pessimistic.

We are contacting this week’s winners and will post their names by Friday. (If you think you have won, feel free to send us an email at games at goI70.com.)

Meanwhile, we have finally finalize the list of winners from our first Guess the Mess contest held on Sunday, February 21st. The first place winner was Eric Gever who won a pair of tickets to Copper Mountain. Sarah Walter took second and a pair of tickets to Arapahoe Basin. Runner-up prizes of a gift certificate to the Dillon Dam Brewery or a pair of Teko Ski socks were claimed by Emily Tracey, Bill Mathe, Ryan Hoelzer, Jim Davies, Marc Jensen and Sean Arkley. Congratulations to all our winners.
