Tucked along a curvy street in southern Colorado is a lost ski hill that will soon offer the promise of family-friendly skiing with less traffic than I-70, barely any lift lines and a daily pass under $50. 🎿

Curiosity is a cornerstone of journalism.
So, in September, after running up to the Isabelle Glacier to find barely any visible ice left, I contacted some local experts to ask if it was normal. In short: It was not. But there’s a lot more to the story. ➡️ https://t.co/rjLFY1whKx
This reporting trip was the first non-COVID or other "news of the day" thing I got out to report on since March 2020, and I'm still struck by the kindness and resiliency of everyone there. Do give their stories a read and watch: https://t.co/2ucSXjIUw5

About a month ago, @stephaniebutzer and I went up and spent a day with the people in and around Grand Lake to see and hear about the recovery from the East Troublesome Fire, which tore through the area Oct. 21-22. These are their stories: https://t.co/UkN7KIXWzU #longreads
And we have an 20-minute special on this entire project that will break your heart and put it back together. Kudos to @LandonHaaf for producing it.
You can find that in this story, along with a slew of multimedia that shows different sides of the fire: https://t.co/NFxDgRBT7i
We've got several for you to read and watch:
➡️ The untold stories of residents' recoveries: https://t.co/NFxDgRBT7i
➡️ A healing community ready to welcome visitors again: https://t.co/lUACmQ4XIp
➡️ A new heartbreaking exhibit on the massive wildfire: https://t.co/hXMegdIalm
Honestly not even sure how to start this thread — such an enormous project. For months, @blairmiller, @LandonHaaf and I have been traveling, researching, writing, filming and producing stories to capture Grand Lake's recovery from the #EastTroublesomeFire. https://t.co/NFxDgRBT7i
Happy Halloween from @Costco! 👻
I didn’t even have to pay extra for the WOODEN DAGGER in my candy bag this year! “@Costco: Impaling trick-or-treaters since 1983.”
