Each year, the excitement and joy associated with Colorado skiing is tempered by sadness over deaths that take place on the slopes. Witness the outpouring of grief over the death of Logan Salviano, a 25-year-old who died skiing at Vail last week. Salviano appears to be the first person to…
We recently wrote about the falling value of marijuana in Mexico, which is being attributed to the liberalization of cannabis policies in the United States — and especially in Colorado. As a result, some farmers are reportedly shifting resources away from pot and toward poppies, as a result of the…

It’s not often that an academic study gets coverage on a website such as Bustle, whose main home page items at this writing includes “What Happens When You Use Tinder in the 1950s” and “How Different Does the ‘Fuller House’ Look?” But the site — like more expected sources, such as Inside…

It was initially reported as a burglary that led to an officer-involved shooting. But now, there are questions about whether the goal of Thomas Guolee, who suffered non-life-threatening injuries in the incident, was something other than a simple smash and grab. Guolee, as you’ll recall, is an alleged member of…
Broncos Nation — and two of our writers — are debating whether Brock Osweiler or Peyton Manning should start the next Denver Broncos playoffs game, slated for Sunday, January 17.

The folks with Kaos Pizzeria, located at 1439 South Pearl, really, really want to catch the guy who burglarized the restaurant early on January 3. Indeed, they’re offering free pizza for a year to anyone providing the information that brings the dude to justice — and they’ve shared not one, not…
The latest crime statistics available from the Denver Police Department don’t feature a lot of good news. The stats available at this writing cover January-November 2015 — figures we’ve compared to the same period the previous year.

Colorado marijuana sales topped $100 million in August, and even though subsequent revenue totals haven’t hit those heights, the success of the recreational cannabis sales here and in a handful of other municipalities is clearly having an impact well beyond state lines. As evidence, check out a new report from Public…
As we recently reported, Colorado added 100,986 residents in 2015, landing it in second position among fastest-growing states.
