Do not despair, 80488 voters. In Colorado you can register and change your address up to and including Election Day. Even if you’re out of town, you can call the Clerk’s office and have a replacement ballot mailed to a third address since signatures are verified by election judges before ballots are counted. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

We are so spoiled in Steamboat to have such a talented photographer, who is always coming up with a new way to seeing the area’s most loved places. Thanks, Noah!

Illuminating the summit of Big Agnes at 12,067ft underneath the night sky within the Mount Zirkel Wilderness of Colorado. This is a very unique perspective of the peak, showcasing its prominence. Typically you summit from the other side, where it’s a steep and gradual climb, a ramp to describe it best.

Few individuals access this vantage point each year, and that’s exactly why I wanted to capture this perspective. Over the course of 2 days I enjoyed 5 separate occasions shooting the summit of Big Agnes and the Sawtooth Ridgeline.

For those of you unfamiliar, this is the same peak that the trusted outdoor gear brand is named after…and for good reason. It’s the ceiling of Northwest Colorado, and a very unique mountain range. I captured this shot via a 25-second exposure, light painting the summit with a powerful headlamp distanced 100ft from the camera so the light striking the face is closer to a 45 degree angle, reducing direct harsh light if I was light-painting from behind the camera.

As we celebrate the 60th anniversary of this pivotal legislation, discover the efforts of local preservationists who continue to protect these lands for future generations. Find out how you can be part of preserving the wilderness that defines our community.

Trudy Lampert is determined to maintain her strength and vitality. In June 2023, at 100 years old, the Steamboat Springs resident moved from Manhattan and became the oldest client of Jordan Bloom, a fitness and movement trainer specializing in biomechanics, functionality, and injury prevention. Jordan’s approach incorporates principles from the Centenarian Olympics, a concept developed by author and physician Dr. Peter Attia. The idea is simple: we should train for longevity just as we train for sports, with the goal of staying physically capable into our 80s, 90s, and beyond. By focusing on strength, stability, and mobility today, we can preserve our ability to perform everyday tasks long into old age.

Steve Rossi, last year’s oldest competitor at Routt County’s Run Rabbit Run, participated in his fifth 100-miler this past Friday. His main goal this year was to run and meet friends along the way. “Since I’m over 60, finishing means I don’t have to pay the entry fee for the following year,” Steve shares. During his training, he focused on improving his core strength and running posture to tackle this year’s challenge. At over 70, he’s proving that age is no barrier to passion and perseverance.
