Whether you’re a Colorado native, a new resident or a visiting tourist, driving in Colorado’s winter weather can be dangerous if you’re not prepared. Winter weather can quickly change road conditions and not all drivers know what they’re doing in the snow, according to the Colorado State Patrol. Colorado drivers and passengers are 2.5 times more likely to be seriously injured or killed in a crash during winter than at other times during the year, state patrol officials said. From the first snowfall to the last in winter 2023, 5,691 crashes occurred during snowy weather conditions, according to Colorado Department of Transportation data.
