Barbara Lucks: It does not get better than homegrown
Kudos to Colorado State Sen. Gail Schwartz, D-Snowmass Village, for teaming up with fellow Sen. Don Coram, R-Montrose, to sponsor the Local Foods, Local Jobs Act, which was just enacted by the Colorado Legislature.

The curious case of the missing club locker keys
I just got back in town in time to celebrate the end of ski season, which may be sooner than Skico scheduled if we don't get a big dump or two right away.

It's already gone, but I'm not. May as well enjoy it
And then there was none. I'm talking about the snow. I suppose it's the fitting end to a ski season that began almost as dryly as a joke you get the next day. Don't fret, though. I do not recall a ski season that ended early due to lack...

How do you spell success?
March is Literacy Month, celebrated by Rotary International and its 31,000 clubs and 1.1 million members around the world. With so much emphasis placed on education and literacy on a global scale, the Snowmass Rotary Club is right on track with carrying...

Skiing with your children, priceless
One of the most valuable and lasting gifts you can share with your family is to get them involved in sliding on snow. When children and adults go skiing or snowboarding, they engage in a healthy activity that can help build confidence, develop...

WTF has a whole new meaning in Western Colorado
Imagine a billboard with that simple message shouting to motorists on Interstate 70 around mile marker 19. It means, of course, “Welcome to Fruita.”

You were thinking something else perhaps?

Don't build it and they will come anyway
It's been a weird winter, all three weeks of it. OK, maybe it was only two weeks, but it seemed like three. We had pretty descent snowfall throughout the second half of February and, along with a little wishful thinking, for a few days it almost...

Base Village requires a more thoughtful process
It looks and feels like spring has sprung a bit earlier than usual and, unfortunately, predictions of copious amounts of fresh powder are few and far between. With recent daily temperatures hovering in the high 40s to mid 50s, our snow base is rapidly...

The Village's online poll – be careful what we wish for
As reported in the Snowmass Sun last week, according to an online poll, citizens of Snowmass Village believe that completing Base Village is the highest priority issue that our town government should attend to. So much for thoughtful consideration given...

Working together for literacy and education
Early literacy and education are the bedrocks of successful communities. The Snowmass Village Rotary Club and The Little Red Schoolhouse Educational Center are collaborating to help children receive the best education possible.

Deciphering tuning terminology
Upon unpacking your skis, have you ever noticed that the skis have rusted edges that feel like hacksaw blades? You may even have some gouges so deep in the ski base that you can see the core of the ski, or white dried-out bases?

Coming to terms with the great humbling
Question: What has transformed in the last five years from a 3,500-square-foot custom home to a set of bookshelves for a dorm room?

Answer: The minimum job an experienced finish carpenter will accept in western Colorado.

Support your local snowplow operator
You know that ridge of snow the plow leaves in front of your driveway after every storm? Get used to it. It's as much a part of mountain living as having sand on the bathroom floor of a beach house. There's no sense getting worked up.

Several issues in Snowmass need attention
From my favorite perch at a local Starbucks in Santa Monica, I hear things have calmed down a bit in our fair Village following the President's Day holiday week and Mardi Gras festivities. While savoring a vente, iced, soy cappuccino, and dreaming...

Base Village bus stop is like a sore bunion
I'm signed up to do the Power of Four endurance race (POFER) Saturday morning … and afternoon … and, most likely, part of the evening. This is the event where willing — yes, willing — participants voluntarily hike to the top...
