Also, just an FYI for the OP.
With nice roads and light traffic the drive from Vail to Denver is probably just under two hours.
Sprinkle some winter weather and ski traffic in and you can likely add an hour to that trip or more. It's literally taken me four and a half hours to get from the tunnel to my house due to traffic and Vail is west of the tunnel.
That's true, it can very often be a nightmare on I-70, especially on a Sunday when everyone is driving back to Denver. Factor in crappy weather and you can easily spend most of your day going bumper-to-bumper for 5 hours on a trip that should take two.
