Game on
No more squinting or craning your neck to see the action at Fort Lewis College’s Ray Dennison Field. The school recently upped it’s game day uh, game, with a new, full-color 13-by-25-foot LED video display.
While not exactly the Jumbotron at Ball Arena, the new display will offer replays, live action, stats and information, graphic special effects and general crowd pumping-upping, all in “115,000 vibrant pixels” according to a press release.
FLC purchased the display from Nevco Sports, a U.S.-based scoreboard company that also provided scoring upgrades to Whalen Gymnasium in 2018.
“We are focused on building a premier program of excellence … Projects like this enhance the student-athlete experience and assist our recruiting efforts,” FLC Director of Athletics Travis Whipple said. “Fort Lewis students, faculty, staff, alumni, fans and the community will benefit from this state-of-the-art video scoreboard.”
No word on whether the new display will feature the always-popular “kiss cam,” but maybe bring some breath mints just in case your neighbor wants to plant one on you at half time.

Anyone who has visited the Blue Lakes between Ouray and Telluride knows: it’s crowded. But that’s about to change. The U.S. Forest Service, which oversees the 16,200-acre area, which includes Dallas Peak and Mount Sneffels, officially announced it will be going to a permit system for day hikers and campers from June-September.

The Denver Post just came out with its “10 picturesque (and less visited) Colorado mountain towns” list. Don’t worry, Durango’s not on it. Well, not exactly.
The list, which names 10 places that won’t “break the bank for a mountain town experience” and are “away from the ski lifts and condos … where the mountain-town spirit lives in a (relatively) affordable way” does include Durango’s friendly neighbor to the west, Mancos.

September is not only prime riding season in Durango, but it’s also the time when most riders, after a summer in the saddle, reach tip-top condition. If you’re looking to gauge just how much (or little) time you spent on the singletrack, why not test yourself at the second annual Durango Derby mtb race on Sun., Sept. 1?
