PITKIN COUNTY — As Pitkin County Open Space and Trails moves closer to approval for the development of a seven-mile trail from Redstone to McClure Pass, some Crystal Valley residents are crying foul over wildlife impacts and potential for further development. On Friday, the White River National Forest issued...

Fresh snow early in the week continued to fill in the nooks and crannies of extreme terrain at Summit County ski resorts, aiding efforts to open some of the steepest and rockiest trails local resorts have to offer. A snowy month led Keystone Resort and Copper Mountain to open 100%...

EAGLE COUNTY — Eagle County is part of the birthplace of the Colorado River. Any agreement to allocate that river’s water is likely to affect residents. A century-old agreement to divide the Colorado’s water is no longer sufficient to govern the river’s use. After years of work to divide up a diminishing resource, officials Monday announced that six of the seven states governed by the compact had created a model for the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation to possibly incorporate into its own management plan.

I fully appreciate that you believe you are doing the right thing by increasing regulations on the villain of the moment: short term rental owners. However, I have issue with you creating different classes of citizens based on current and past work histories and age. Too bad for young people with no work history in Summit County — sorry, you don’t make the cut.

After making the final in the Laax Open World Cup last month, Blackwell successfully punched his ticket into the men’s snowboard halfpipe final at the Toyota U.S. Grand Prix at Mammoth Mountain in California. In the men’s halfpipe qualifiers on Thursday,...

I am a home owner in Summit County’s Peak 7 neighborhood near Breckenridge, to be specific, and the Summit County commissioners are stomping on our property rights and not listening to their constituents who are opposed to their regulations. I attended a meeting a week ago at the courthouse, along with many others, and the room was packed. After sitting patiently, quietly and respectful for 90 minutes, they not only moved the citizen comments to the end of the meeting — when the agenda listed it in the beginning — but they said they would not allow any discussion regarding the short-term rentals and would cut citizens off if mentioned.

Around 150 people gathered in-person, and more than 120 appeared online, during a Jan. 31 Summit School District meeting to voice support and opposition to a resolution passed by the district’s Board of Education in October that reaffirmed — in part — its commitment to LGBTQ+ representation and inclusion.

I teach my students to seek first to understand and then to be understood. I implore our community to seek the same advice. In the recent demonstrations of hatred and misunderstanding, it’s becoming apparent that the Summit School District board policy on a just and equitable education is becoming misconstrued and misunderstood.
