episode Nederland skateboarders teach us a lesson artwork

Nederland skateboarders teach us a lesson

The general public tends to write off skaters as grungy, lazy, troublemakers. But that's far from the truth. In reporting a story for the May issue of Caribou Current, I asked Nederland skateboarders about the lessons skating can teach us. There's a lot more to learn than just how to do a kickflip - skating can teach us how to persevere, how to fail and succeed, and how to be a good person. This episode is a compilation of some of those conversations. Check out the original story about Ned's skate culture here: How Nederland's skate culture got its wheels on the ground [https://www.cariboucurrent.com/stories/nederland-skate-culture-nathan-lazarus-skatepark,91888?] Special thanks to Dave Kingsbury, who shared this video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ONqvrv43vE&t=2s] wof him and his then 4-year-old son Quinn skating together.

episode Ward's Hotel Columbia is open for business artwork

Ward's Hotel Columbia is open for business

Today, we’re featuring an episode from our sister podcast, Shay Castle’s Boulder Valley Frequency, about a pair of mountain women breathing life into Ward’s Hotel Columbia, which just opened its doors after a year and a half of renovations.  A few months ago, Shay paid a visit to Hotel Columbia and its new owners, Masyn Moyer and Gurjeet Gill, to find out what possessed them to renovate the  old building. It’s a story of perseverance and preservation — two things that the town of Ward is certainly known for.  Also * Black Hawk bans cannabis businesses * Gilpin fourth graders lobby Central City for playground improvements * Billy Giblin, Topher Donahue appointed to Nederland Board of Trustees * The Vault opens in Nederland Read Shay's full story about Hotel Columbia here.
