Hey, look, Durango had a celeb sighting! The Nugget Mountain Bar near Purg posted to Instagram that Pink stopped by the Friday after Thanksgiving for some drinks and Backcountry Gourmet grub.

Who’s Pink, you say? Well, as Missy texted me: “In case you’ve never heard of her, she’s a more punk rock version of Adele and an asskicker.” Well, I’m not sure what year Missy thinks I was born in, but yeah, I know Pink. I mean, what 12-year-old boy didn’t have a crush on her after the “Lady Marmalade” music video?

We gave the owner of the Nugget a call but haven’t heard back yet. So we’ll never know: What drink did she order? Did she enjoy her sliders? Did she ski Purgatory’s Ribbon of Death?

One thing is for sure, evidenced by the photo, she was well-equipped for Fanny Pack Friday.

Since then, the nonprofit organization founded in their memory, Know the Snow Fund, has raised tens of thousands of dollars and handed out hundreds of scholarships for avalanche safety training. In 2024 alone, KTSF supported scholarships for nearly 100 individuals.

Finally, an answer to the pressing question on most everyone’s minds since Elon Musk became BFFs with Donald Trump. What do Tesla owners – who, shall we say, tend to be a climate change accepting lot – think of the sugar daddy of non-gas guzzling electric vehicles jumping into bed with the man who thinks climate change is a hoax?

Just a friendly reminder that the Telegraph is taking its annual leave of absence for not one but two weeks, Dec. 26 and Jan. 2, due to printing and sanity reasons. We are sorry if this puts a dent in your fire-starter supply, but rest assured, we will be back in action Jan. 9, 2025. Meantime, throw on an extra layer of fleece and pop a few more rum balls.
