I can keep an eye on things while your out this way. I will tell you this, I-70 sucks from Idaho Springs to Grand Junction this time of year. Its not just because of the snow, but because they use cinders and dirt to add traction. If you don't have a clear bra its literally suicide.
That being said, if it hasnt snowed for 36 hours, the roads should be pretty clear below 9,500 feet. If its windy, it might as well be snowing. Above 9500 feet (near the Eisenhower tunnel, Vail pass) is always a question mark.
Check out Cotrip.org for road conditions and travel speeds.
Good, it will be put to good use. If it snows at all, you will absolutely need snow tires.
I'd personally stay south, and take the sure thing of I-25 to I-40 in Santa Fe. Just did the 40 drive back from the Grand Canyon and it was a pretty awesome drive. I-70 is more beautiful, but I'd rather get there and come back to drive it during goldRush

+1 on staying south. I've been caught is some very bad weather at 8-9k feet. If there is any hint of snow on Vail Pass it will be near impossible to take the Viper over it. Be safe.
Vail pass and Eisenhower tunnel are closed as I type. You should keep an eye on the weather the 24th and 25th to make your decision. Anything earlier than that and I wouldn't trust a forecast.
