Recently, while skiing at Beaver Creek, my binding released coming off the Centennial lift. I was warming up in the gondola and likely had some snow under my boot that triggered the release. I fell and injured the knee on one leg and the ankle on the other. Lisa of Ski Patrol was most compassionate and because another skier in the same area needed Ski Patrol, Lisa took me down to the base on the sled all by herself. Down the steep blues. Quickly but safely. That woman is strong! Give her a bonus!

Eagle County’s rising property values are unlikely to be matched by corresponding property tax hikes. The Eagle River Fire Protection District, which covers the Eagle River Valley from the top of Tennessee Pass to Wolcott, with the exception of Vail, is asking voters this spring for a property tax increase in the May 2 election. If approved, the increase would raise roughly $2 million per year. The money would be used exclusively for equipment and maintenance, including facility maintenance.

You might say that Jim Pavelich and Noah Bender are cooking with gas — at all of their restaurants. Hailing from New Hampshire, Bender, a graduate of Johnson and Wales Culinary school, left a job in Vail to help Pavelich open Northside Kitchen in 2011. Eventually, the two became partners and have, literally, taken their show on the road, opening other eateries from Edwards to West Vail. In Avon, the heart of the operation includes Northside Kitchen Grab n’ Go, Northside Benderz, Southside Benderz and Fattoria.
