Berthoud Pass carries US-40 over the Front Range at 11,307 ft.
US 40 over Berthoud Pass closes for avalanche control and after slides. Mapped avalanche paths cross the highway, and on January 14, 2024 a slide hit ten vehicles, with no injuries reported. CDOT also runs an automated system that sets off one of the paths.
A closure on Berthoud Pass cuts off the quick link between the Denver area and Winter Park. In the 2024 closure CDOT pointed drivers west on US 40 to Colorado 9, then south to I-70. Check the closure first, because that route adds a lot of time. Sources: Berthoud Pass, Summit Daily.
