The I‑70 Mountain Corridor is the 144‑mile stretch of Interstate 70 between Glenwood Springs and the C‑470 interchange at Golden — the road almost every skier takes to reach Colorado’s Front Range resorts. It crosses Vail Pass at 10,662 feet and tops out at 11,158 feet in the Eisenhower–Johnson Memorial Tunnel, so the weather at either end of the drive says very little about the weather in the middle.
