Valley Roundup - December 12th, 2014

Welcome to Valley Roundup, a review of the top news stories in the valley in the past week.

This week the White River National Forest released an oil and gas plan. But, does that settle the matter on drilling in the Thompson Divide?

The City of Aspen continues to refine a new lodging incentives ordinance. At the same time, the council is asking the city management to give them better information.

The State of Colorado is not messing around when it comes to regulations and medical pot shops.

Could Aspen’s Little Annie’s return from the grave… again?

How’s the weather? It’s almost officially Winter, but it feels like Summer as the ski season ramps up. We’ll also take an in-depth look at the Human Factor in avalanches.

Joining me this week are Carolyn Sackariason, Editor of the Aspen Daily News and Randy Essex, Editor of the Glenwood Post Independent.
