Yea, while I personally never driven Chicago Burbs to CO ski resorts, I know friends that have.  You can do western burbs to Loveland in about 13 hours.  And that's averaging 80mph.

I bought a pass last year and didn't even get to use it.  I'm buying a pass again this year and hope I can find people that are going up when the snow is falling.  Was there for a weekend two years ago with Renegade and I'm hooked.  Yeah, I love the resorts out west, but Boehmia has a whole different feel to it.  More "ma & pa" like.  You just have to make sure you're there when it's snowing or has just snowed.  I don't think it would be worth the 8 hour drive if they had tracked out snow. 
So who's up for going sometime in Dec?  Hopefully El Nina blows their way.

Once you get out of Illinois, the speed limit is 75, so you can go 85 without fear of a ticket. I press 90+ once you get into those open, no exits for 30 miles areas in Nebraska.

I think you could hit Keystone/Loveland in 13 hrs. Breck is just another 45 min after that.

" you can go 85 without fear of a ticket"   

It's 1055 miles to Loveland Ski Area. Averaging 85 miles an hour would get you there in 12.94 hours. 16-17 hours seems more realistic.

16-17 hours if you're stopping at Cracker Barrel for meals.   13.5 hours if you're doing 85 and only stopping for gas/bathroom and eating fast food in the car!

I guess I won't argue with you, you must do it more often that I do. 

Now let's hope all this rain turns to snow overnight!
