Sorry, I posted to my reply to you...
I just caught the Denver 850 KOA radio traffic report. They described the driving conditions as “Brutal”. Crashes all over. Did not hear anything about an avalanche at Loveland Pass, but a crash at Eisenhower Tunnel (Same Area) that sounded like it caused road closure for a time.
Thanks for the info. Cannot raise my friends on their cell phone. Hopefully they hunkered down somewhere in front of a roaring fire.
