After two weeks where results were too close to call, the Associated Press announced that Proposition 125, which allows the sale of wine at grocery and convenience stores, passed by a razor-thin margin of 50.6%.

Vail this year is continuing free summer parking, with the exceptions of overnight stays in the Vail Village and Lionshead structures.
In order to keep the structures from becoming summer-season vehicle storage areas, the town a few years ago imposed the overnight charge.
Vail Acting Division Head for Parking Stephanie Kashiwa noted that the overnight charge was waived in 2020 as part of the town’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The charge is back, and more expensive, this year.
Kashiwa said the overnight charge, as well as work wrapping up on the Vail Health Hospital expansion, has freed up “quite a few hundred” spaces in the structures.

MINTURN Barry Clark started Weston Snowboards with heart, determination, a love of snowboarding and a little bit of beetle kill.
Many remember the local company’s debut at the 2012 Man of the Cliff event in Red Cliff, where Clark awarded competitors with a simple board the Vail Valley could call its own classic camber with really cool Red Cliff graphics on top.
Clark went on to experiment with a variety of different designs and materials (including beetle kill), and along the way he created one of the most attractive storefronts in town and ended up with what he says he can confidently call some of the best boards in the industry.
