Dismal ski-area snowpack could get boost from weekend storm

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 16:12:41 GMT

Colorado’s ski resorts are reporting base depths far below what they were at this time in 2023, and a statewide snowpack considerably below normal — a situation that stands in sharp contrast to the abundant snowfall skiers and snowboarders reveled in a year ago.But a series of storms is forecast to arrive in Colorado’s high country over the next week — just in time for the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend.“They desperately need it,” Golden resident Michael Miller said Wednesday after skiing Keystone with his son. “It was rough. In between the bumps and the bottom of the bumps, lots of rocks, twigs, trees. We were checking our skis all day for shots and scratches.”At Copper Mountain, Cara Luchies of Longmont found good skiing Tuesday on groomed intermediate trails at the center of the mountain, but after exploring the upper mountain Wednesday morning with her family, she decided to call it a day at 1 p.m.“Don’t want to...

Editorial: How to get an electric vehicle for less than $6,000 in Colorado

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 16:12:41 GMT

Some Coloradans who play their financial cards just right in 2024 could land a new Chevy Bolt eletcric car for around $5,500, according to our calculations.That price would be after using $21,000 in incentives and trading in one qualifying beater (this doesn’t include dealer fees, taxes or any of the likely hidden costs). But beggars can’t be choosers and according to our research, only four cars — two Teslas and two Chevys — currently qualify for all three programs.Over the years, we’ve been skeptical about the wisdom of incentives for electric vehicles, given that when first implemented in the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the tax breaks were often used for the $100,000 Tesla Roadster when the luxury electric vehicles hit the market, raising questions about if the tax credits were just a drop in the bucket for many buyers all while the Congressional Budget Office estimated the program cost $1.5 billion to $2 billion per year. Could those resources ...

Suicide, overdoses are top causes of maternal deaths in Colorado

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 16:12:41 GMT

More pregnant and postpartum women in Colorado die from suicide or drug overdoses than any other causes, and those deaths represent only a small percentage of moms who need help, advocates say.Nonprofits, state agencies and health care providers are trying to not only encourage new parents to seek out help if they need it, but also to ease the process of actually getting that support. Mental health and addiction care can be difficult to find under any circumstances, and perhaps even more so when mothers are juggling child care and may fear losing custody of their children if they admit they’re struggling.In Colorado, 174 people died during pregnancy or within a year of giving birth between 2016 and 2020. Of those, 34 died by suicide and 33 died of accidental overdoses, according to the state’s 2023 maternal mortality report. The state doesn’t publish annual data, because of the relatively small number of deaths.The problem extends beyond Colorado. Nationwide, the C...

NFL Picks: Playoff spots and seeding on the line and appreciation for Mike Tomlin’s greatness

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 16:12:41 GMT

Around the AFCChiefs reign. Another Week 18, another week of Patrick Mahomes donning shades instead of a helmet and watching his team. Kansas City is locked into the AFC’s No. 3 seed and, thus, isn’t playing Mahomes and likely a few others. It’s an opportunity wasted for the other teams in the division. This was the most vulnerable Kansas City team maybe of Mahomes’ career. They went 5-4 at home and are 3-2 in the division entering the final week. And yet, no sweat toward another division title. If nobody got them this year, when’s it going to happen?15.5. A year ago, the Broncos averaged 15.5 points per game in the 15 games coached by Nathaniel Hackett. That number jumped all the way to 16.9 for the season when Denver scored 55 over the final two games of the year. The 2023 New York Jets, with Hackett as the offensive coordinator, enter the final week of the season averaging… 15.7 points per game. If they score 12 points against New England on Sunday, they’ll finish at 15.5 per gam...
