Traffic Explanation

Current Conditions for Vail Pass

Conditions are impacted due to moderate traffic delays. The high-elevation pass is open, but drivers should expect a slower commute.

There is no active snowfall. Any snow on the ground is minimal and not accumulating, so it is not a primary factor affecting road conditions at this time.

Traffic is moving slower than normal, adding about 5 minutes to the typical travel time across the pass. This is the main reason for the impacted conditions.

The road is fully passable. While no special precautions are required beyond attentive driving, allowing a few extra minutes for your trip is advisable due to the current traffic flow.
