Hiking couple encountered cougars before attack; How snow 'farming' keeps terrain open; Telluride strike update; Extreme lack of snow; & More

from The OutThere Colorado Podcast · host OutThere Colorado

In this episode of the OutThere Colorado Podcast, Spencer and Seth chat about additional details that have been released in the fatal mountain lion attack, the end of the Telluride strike, the extreme lack of snow – and a very labor-intensive tactic resorts are using to keep terrain open, the ski area that was once sold for $100, the Broncos' upcoming playoff game (and of course, Seth's Chicago Bears), and more. Note: This is indeed an outdoor recreation-focused podcast, but hype around the NFL playoffs resulted in about nine minutes of football talk to start the show (whoops). If you want to skip past that, we won't be offended – the punchline is that Seth is cheering for the Bears and Spencer is hopeful the Broncos can keep it together for a big win this weekend.
