Valley Roundup: Nov. 17, 2017

This week, there have been more allegations of sexual harassment at the Colorado statehouse.

The City of Aspen has some work to do to prove that it should hold on to conditional water rights on Castle and Maroon Creeks, and is considering pulling funding from the Wheeler’s stockpile to buy land in Woody Creek. The school district is also interested in the Wheeler’s excess funds.

 

And is it really almost ski season? Aspen Skiing Company has big plans for Aspen Mountain, but they don’t include Thanksgiving World Cup.

 

Host Elizabeth Stewart-Severy is joined by Bente Birkeland, Aspen Public Radio’s statehouse reporter, Brent Gardner-Smith, editor and executive director of Aspen Journalism, and Curtis Wackerle, editor of the Aspen Daily News.

 

Aspen native Elizabeth Stewart-Severy is excited to be making a return to both the Red Brick, where she attended kindergarten, and the field of journalism. She has spent her entire life playing in the mountains and rivers around Aspen, and is thrilled to be reporting about all things environmental in this special place. She attended the University of Colorado with a Boettcher Scholarship, and graduated as the top student from the School of Journalism in 2006. Her lifelong love of hockey lead to a stint working for the Colorado Avalanche, and she still plays in local leagues and coaches the Aspen Junior Hockey U-19 girls.
