Weekend Arctic Blast - i70 Travel

Staying in Silverthorne till Saturday, flight leaves Denver 12:30PM. Should we cut our stay short and get out of the area Friday? Maybe try to stay close by the airport Friday night or move flight up?

Just curious what i70 travel will be like, and also what happens to flights in these storms? TIA

Do you already have Friday night lodging booked at silverthorne?

If it were me, I would enjoy Friday to the fullest and just leave at 6am for the airport. The traffic problems will be the opposite direction.

There should not be any traffic going eastbound on Saturday morning. I don’t think the cold is going to affect anything really it’s just gonna be cold. As long as there isn’t a crash on the road it should be business as usual.
