Sporting sandals, swim shorts and baseball caps — and hopefully plenty of sunscreen — a cohort of state lawmakers hopped aboard several rafts on a hot June day to talk policy as they floated the Colorado River. Splashing their way downstream from Kremmling, less than 60 miles from the river’s headwaters in Rocky Mountain National Park, the group of roughly a dozen politicians found themselves in a quintessential setting for their wide-ranging c…See the Story

What’s so Special About a Holiday in July?

100% Center coverage: 2 sources

The Fourth of July is the only holiday I tolerate being hot and sweaty from sunrise to sunset because there’s the promise of fireworks at its conclusion. The combination of gunpowder and burning chemicals takes me back to the shore of the Long Island Sound, where my brother and I “oohed” and “aahed” at the firework display put on from the boats strategically placed out on the water. My grandmother would line the kids up by the edge of the beach …See the Story

When it comes to uphill running, ignorance usually isn’t bliss. Course familiarization helps. While most of the 275 runners — representing 18 states and three different countries — toed the Vail Hill Climb start line Saturday morning knowing they’d signed up for a suffer fest, Milaina Almonte made her first try at the 7.7-mile, 2,200 foot ascent to Mid-Vail look easy. “My strategy was to start pretty conservative.

Digging into Eagle County’s prehistoric past

100% Center coverage: 1 sources

At my kindergarten graduation circa 2005, I stood watching my friends confidently announce their future dreams. One by one, they rattled off their answers to the phrase, “When I grow up, I want to be…” I was surrounded by future firefighters, ballerinas, nurses, doctors, and professional soccer players. When it was my turn to walk across the stage and announce my dreams to the crowd, there was no doubt in my mind what I wanted to say. “When I gr…Vail, Colorado · Vail Read Article

Lewis: Driving me crazy

We just got back from a road trip through the Scottish Highlands, and I never thought I’d say this, but I miss their competent drivers. In Scotland, the roads are approximately the width of a ski pole and bordered by either ancient stone walls or sheep that look like they own the place. Yet somehow, miraculously, it works. People stay in their lanes. Trucks use the slow lane. They signal before turning. They yield when a sign says “Give Way,” wh…Vail, Colorado · Vail Read Article

When Alice and Kendra McKennis were young ski racers, you could take the sisters out of New Castle, but no one could take the New Castle out of them. “We were kind of like the Beverly Hillbillies rolling into these ski towns every winter,” Alice — now McKennis Duran — said with a laugh as she fondly recalled junior club days spent in Vail, Steamboat Springs and Summit County. “New Castle is not a town of ski racers.” But McKennis Duran’s unique …Vail, Colorado · Vail Read Article
