Well, we made it-glad my husband was driving ( a former truck driver) - but we would definitely opt 4wd next time just for the security it would provide. Thanks for all the advice-
Thanks for the advice- we made it just fine, but we missed the worst of the weather by a day. The visibility was the issue, absolutely. I am glad my husband did the driving. Thanks again.
I prefer 4WD, but you'll probably be fine. Colorado DOT does a great job in the mountains, and like the above commenter mentioned, usually it's the visibility that becomes a problem, more than road conditions. When the visibility gets bad it doesn...

four wheel drive a plus but not required. The conditions on rabbit ears pass will dictate the drive.Always use your flashers in bad weather up there, some people know that area very well and in near zero visability they go fast and you can get rea...
The worst of the snow should be ending by tues am, but I think an 4wd/awd vehicle is a good idea especially for the mtn passes. Remember to downshift to a low gear heading down west of the Eisenhower tunnel, down the west side Rabbit Ears pass and...

driving from Denver
Hi, We are arriving in Denver on Tuesday afternoon, and planning on driving to Steamboat from the airport. I see that snow/rain is expected. Should we be expecting a rough drive? We have rented a minivan, and are now wondering if we should have rented a four wheel drive. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Jo
