DD and SIL will be wearing Gold Wednesday

Rainbow Falls is a popular area for OHV folks but it shouldn't be too bad during the week. Weekends get very crowded/loud/rowdy. I think you'll be fine, snow-wise.

Well, since the coordinates you gave appear to be a parking area for, possibly, horse trail-rides, it is hard to say. From the elevation, CDOT cameras in Woodland Park (much closer than Sadalia), and the lack of significant snow this winter, if you come in from Woodland Park, you will likely be okay. I would not come from Sadalia, as those are gravel roads, and would have more chance of being soft.

Good luck! Don't worry about a hockey game, just camp and relax. Refreshments are pretty expensive at Pepsi Center (as with any sports venue).

Since Rainbow Falls is a business, the road is likely fine to get up to that pull-out. Is the route through Woodland Park longer? Yes. But, the roads are much better to that spot, than going from Sadalia and over the hills (gravel much of the way).
