You're welcome

It’s a Christmas miracle – or at least a really nice present. After several years of taking the week between Christmas and New Year’s off for some well-deserved R&R (aka “ripping” and “riding”), the Telegraph will be printing next week, Dec. 28.

“We decided, if we work all week, it pretty much guarantees that it will dump the entire time we are chained to our stand-up desk or out shlepping papers,” Telegraph owner Missy Votel told no one. “That’s usually the way it works. You can thank us later.”

But this doesn’t mean the Telegraph will be all work and no play. Look for our annual winter hiatus a few weeks later, on Jan. 18. We repeat (and will probably repeat it a few more times so everyone gets the memo), there will be no paper the week of Jan. 18. That means you will have to find something else to start your fires, plan your weekend or start your fire weekend.

Not to worry, we’ll be back in action Jan. 25 in time for all the groovy Snowdown shenanigans. Hopefully with a really good goggle tan and quads of steel.

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.

Down and derby
08/22/2024

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?
