Resorts in Summit County are already nearing 200″ for the season, and it’s only the end of January. All this new snow has been amazing for the resorts and recreation, but it’s made the high country roads a challenge this year. I-70 was even closed in early January because of avalanches. Before jumping in the car be sure to utilize these resources to ensure the best and safest drive in and around Summit County.
