Thanks cpa, I've tried EVTripplanner but it tends to grind forever and I've not had great luck with it as of yet. Good to know about the charger in Salida, looking doable!

Be sure and call the Supercharger support number (printed on the charger pedestals) and let them know about the situation. Not that they can do anything directly, but Tesla needs to know.
Are are the big orange barrels still there, pushed to the side? Glenwood has always had an ICIing problem, and the hotel was proactive in providing pavement markings (not helpful in the snow, obviously) and the barrels to help alleviate the issue.
The 2 times I've used Glenwood Springs, the hotel had traffic cones in each SC spot. Have they stopped doing this, or did the ICE cars move them?Tried to charge at the Glenwood Springs SC around 8:30 this morning and all spots were ICEd. The hotel said:
Based on reports I've read here and elsewhere about this SC, they should have said "We don't do anything about it when this happens. These drivers are our customers and they need a place to park. You aren't our customer. It's not our problem. Go away.". At least it would have been more honest.
- There is nothing they can do.
- They don't have phone numbers for these drivers and they don't know what room they're in.
- Police won't get involved.
- Towing company wants $400 (from us, it sounds like) to get involved.
So now we are limping below the speed limit with no AC to Silverthorne. Reported the situation to Tesla. Very frustrating to say the least.

I would do the same. Suspension VERY HIGH!That is one of the worst superchargers for being iced, I would 100% climb the curb and charge from the grass/sidewalk if I it were iced and I needed that charge. The hotel there is also very grungy/disgusting and I would never stay there, not surprised at all they don't care the chargers are blocked.
Wow, I can't believe they actually said something so *um* wrong. This is private property. The police have no responsibility nor jurisdiction to issue parking tickets. The property owner would be VERY upset if the police did this (which they would not).So I called Tesla, and the woman I spoke to had a decent suggestion: call the local police department's non-emergency number so they come out and issue parking tickets to all the vehicles. There is incentive here: not only is it their job, but a source of revenue for the department- so it could work! If any of you use this Supercharger soon, please let us know if you give that a try and any resulting outcome.
The more tickets are issued, the more likely people won't park here.
First, the manager is NOT being understanding. They are the problem. They are allowing this to happen. Maybe with all of the Model 3s on the road now, this will become enough of a hassle that they will do something about it.I ran into the exact same issue here on Friday...after the initial panic, it was just extremely frustrating. Only one spot open, and I had to wait for someone to finish charging.
Spoke to the Marriott manager, and he was understanding...it appears to be quite the catch-22, since no one wants to pay $400 to get a tow truck out here, so people keep ignoring the signs (and parking in the spots).
