We took that route 2 winters ago and the roads were multi lane and no issues with switch backs, etc. Lots of construction from Vail to Denver but should think it is all finished now. There are some very steep grades so just keep the speed down by starting the descent in a lower gear or use the engine brake if you have one. We lost our trailer brakes and kept the truck in 2nd gear most of the way down. Sure wished I still had my Ram with the engine brake. Ford, in its wisdom, didn't offer one on our 2011 model.
