episode_narrativeA heavy snowfall event resulted in an unstable snowpack and subsequent avalanche in the Vail Pass area.
event_narrativeAn avalanche came down onto Interstate 70 in the Narrows area, about four miles west of the Vail Pass summit. The avalanche initially came down onto the westbound lanes and then spread across the eastbound lanes, with the westbound lanes covered up to 15 feet deep. Three semi trucks were struck by the avalanche. I-70 was closed for about ten hours due to the avalanche and related cleanup activities.
