Enlighten-wellness.com This snowpack will be good for California’s reservoirs, which had not fully recovered from extended drought, despite a big, big winter just two years ago. The San Francisco Chronicle reports that Shasta, the state’s largest reservoir, rose 39 feet in depth from Feb. 1 to Feb. 25. Other reservoirs on the flanks of the Sierra Nevada had similarly startling increases. In Colorado, snowfall has been healthy but not oppressive. A storm over the weekend was expected to produce snowfall measured in feet, not inches, at some locations. More generally, though, the snow has been more manageable, even delightful. Compared to the 300 inches of Squaw Valley and the 200 inches of Jackson Hole, Snowmass got 66 inches. Instead of a few really big dumps, snow fell in smaller amounts but frequently, altogether 17 days of snow over the month, reports The Aspen Times. “I like skiing fresh, upon fresh, upon fresh,” one ski patroller told the newspaper’s Scott Condon.

Bachelor, the third victim in the last 12 months, reports the Bend Bulletin. Prior to the deaths of a 19-year-old skier and a 24-year old snowboarder, the ski area had not had a treewell death since 2000. But in January, two other tree well deaths were reported in Oregon resorts, one at Timberline Sat/Sun/Mon/Tues, March 9-12, 2019 Lodge on Mt. Hood and the other at Mt. Ashland. Story of 10th Mountain Div. gets told yet again in Vail VAIL, Colo. – The story of the 10th Mountain Division gets retold time and again at Vail, for understandable reasons. The resort was co-founded by Pete Seibert, a veteran of the division, which had trained from 1942 to 1944 a short distance away at Camp Hale. The town and the ski area this Friday will hold the fourth and final torchlight ski-down of skiers dressed in traditional 10th Mountain Division Ski Trooper uniforms. At the base, they join a parade of military veterans, also in uniform, to walk down the community’s Bridge Street to a statue of a 10th Mountain soldier along Gore Creek. The ski area also hosted ski and winter training by the Colorado Army National Guard in conjunction with the Legacy Days celebration in mid-February. The story of the 10th Mountain Division has had more reruns than “It’s a Wonderful Life” and “Groundhog Day” combined. The division was formed in 1942, after the attack at Pearl Harbor led to U.S. entry into the war. The premise was that the United States might well need soldiers trained in snow and cold-weather situations. Several training sites were examined, including one near Yellowstone National Park. But a valley called Eagle Park, located along the Continental Divide in Colorado was chosen, in large part because it was then located on a transcontinental railroad but also because it was also largely unoccupied. It became Camp Hale. Soldiers trained from late 1942 until April 1944 at Camp Hale. On weekends they often went to Aspen and other towns. Ironically, Seibert, who trained at Camp Hale, never visited the ski area that he would create, with aid of others, or see the ski area’s signature Back Bowls, despite being just a valley away. The 10th Mountain did not end up being a major factor in World War II, but when the soldiers finally saw combat in February 1945 in Italy’s Apennine Mountains, they did perform well and took extremely heavy casualties, losing more than 1,000 men in the rapid, bloody push. Germany surrendered just as they entered the foothills of the Alps. After the war as ski troopers returned to civilian life, many were involved in creating new ski areas. For Vail, it’s a story that keeps getting retold. Last week it was on national television, the Today Show. Among those telling the story were a pair of 10th Mountain veterans, who are now well into their 90s. Biliteracy on the upswing in schools of Jackson Hole JACKSON, Wyo. – In five years, 30 to 40 percent of Jackson Hole High School students could be biliterate in Spanish and English. A person who is bilingual can fluently speak two languages. A biliterate person can read and write proficiently in two languages. The Jackson Hole News&Guide reports an evolving dual immersion program. One local elementary school, Munger Mountain, is fully dual for all students. Students there spend half the day speaking (ideally) only English and half the day only Spanish. Educators report that there seems to be evidence of cultural integration of presumably native Spanish language speakers and Anglos. But soccer, not just language, could be the tie that binds. Meth addiction no excuse for brutal murder of wife GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colo. – In 2016, Gustavo Olivo-Tellez shot and killed his estranged wife, Blanca Salas-Jurado, after first taking their son into a hallway outside the apartment near Glenwood Springs, about 40 miles down-valley from Aspen. He then tried to hide the evidence, throwing away the handgun he used, the box of bullets, and his cell-phone battery into the Roaring Fork River. As to his guilt, there was no real doubt. The real question posed at the 12-day trial was whether he should get a reduced sentence. Defenders, reports the Aspen Daily News and Glenwood Post-Independent, tried to paint a picture of a man whose brain was clouded by drugs. Dr. Dawn Obrecht, a board-certified expert in addiction, testified that Olivo-Tellez’s brain was acutely afflicted by the meth and alcohol and had “sabotaged” his thinking. “If it weren’t for methamphetamine, this homicide wouldn’t have happened,” said defense attorney Garth McCarty. He said that the man was trying to reconcile with his wife, a graduate of Aspen High School, but she angered him when she said she had been having sex with others, even his brothers. There is no evidence that she had. Prosecutors painted a picture of cold-blooded murder, one premeditated at least four days prior when he had his then girlfriend buy him a box of bullets at a Walmart. Jurors found Olivo-Tellez, 29, guilty of second-degree murder, meaning he could be released within 16 to 48 years. Had they convicted him of first-degree murder, he would have faced a longer prison sentence. |
