Welcome to Valley Roundup. I’m Carolyn Sackariason.
Aspen is in full swing with the World Cup finals hosting the best skiers in the world for five days. And there’s been some fast skiing, which means some gnarly crashes, too.

Finally, both sides of the oil and gas controversy in Battlement Mesa are debated.
