Pitkin County

Local, regional and state wildfire leaders are concerned about increased fire danger this summer as the Western Slope experiences its worst snowpack in over 40 years. But those agencies across the Roaring Fork Valley and the state are collaborating on fire mitigation and wildfire preparedness ahead of what is expected to be an extremely dry summer.

The new mask mandate comes on the heels of the fifth recorded death from COVID-19 in Pitkin County since the pandemic began. Eagle County has recorded 30 deaths since the pandemic began, and Garfield County has recorded 57 deaths.

With summer tourism peaking and the spread of the highly contagious Delta variant, Aspen and the Valley are seeing an uptick in COVID-19 cases and local health officials are concerned.

Aspen locals know that it's gotten harder to afford a place to live. Now, a new study of resort towns in Colorado confirms that trend with data.
