Winter Weather Closure Procedure
In an effort to standardize our response and to ensure everyone's safety when winter weather conditions are present at the ramp, we follow the following protocols:
Weekdays (Mon-Thurs): If the schools in Pueblo West District 70 are closed due to bad weather, the inspection stations will also be closed. If the schools are on a two hour delay, our inspection stations will open at 9 am.
The information regarding school closings in D70 is widely reported on local television and radio stations. Closing notices are also available at www.district70.org. This applies to the Pueblo West schools in District 70 and not the mountain schools.
Weekends (Fri-Sun): If snow and icy conditions exist, it is likely that we will be on, at least, a delayed opening of 9 am. To confirm this before 9 am, please call the non-emergent CSP dispatch number: 719-544-2424 for ramp details. After 9 am, please call our Visitor Center at 719-561-9320 for the information.
As always, inspection stations may be closed early due to adverse weather conditions that arise during the day or other unexpected circumstances.
