Sorry, I just want to understand what it is.
00:42
Is it near the base of the Loveland Ski Area?

00:49
No, that's going to be ours.
00:50
I just want to understand it a little bit better.
00:52
There's no crash.
00:53
It's just stuck and blocking the ski resort, but there's law enforcement out with it?
00:59
That's what I understand.
01:01
It says it's the Loveland Ski Area Police, so I'm not sure if they're security or real police.

01:16
Copy. We also are getting a motorcycle.
01:20
This is going to be Highway 103 at the Penn.

Do we have chain law code 18 in effect right now?
01:53
At Level 1 pass, yes.
01:55
I'm not sure what's effect on 103 right now.
01:59
Okay, yeah, I was mostly concerned with I-70 and Loveland Pass.
02:07
The Loveland Pass is showing 16 and 18.
02:13
And I am not seeing anything else right now for I-70, but I will double check with CDOT to make sure their map is correct.

03:25
They're not pleased that's the ski resort's security.
03:28
And a semi-truck there, no longer blocks it, can't even clear it up.
