Ski patrollers at Keystone Resort have reached a tentative agreement with Vail Resorts for its first contract since unionizing in spring 2024. The agreement comes after months of disagreements, debate and claims between management at Vail Resorts and the ski patrol union. The negotiation process led the Keystone Ski Patrol union to take part in a walk-in protest and also file a charge with the National Labor Relations Board. (The terms of the contract were revealed after the union voted to approve it on Feb. 22, it resulted in a higher starting wage and as much as an $8 pay increase for experienced patrollers.)

Numerous industries have felt the financial impacts of widespread closures as a result of the arrival of COVID-19 in Summit County in March 2020, but dispensaries weathered the storm better than most, in part due to their designation as essential — keeping them open while other businesses were forced to shut their doors. Marijuana tax revenue increased from about $635,000 in 2019 to about $699,700 in 2020 in Breckenridge, from $292,198 to $337,927 in Dillon and from $412,935 to $473,073 in Frisco. That’s in spite of a $52,000 decline in tax revenue collection for the towns of Breckenridge, Frisco and Dillon during the months of March and April of 2020.

The Summit County Teen Center, the community’s first public drop-in facility for area students, held a formal ribbon-cutting ceremony Feb. 17, 2016. The County Commons location replaced the prior tenant, the county’s motor vehicle office. The site serves youth in sixth through 12th grades and offers free activities — including an expansive collection of board games and art supplies — and healthy snacks. The center allows local teens to come and go as they please, with no sign-ups or reservations required. The ribbon-cutting ceremony was attended by the Board of County Commissioners, Summit County Youth & Family Services staff, other county personnel and local teens.

The Summit School District Board of Education voted Feb. 13, 1996, to pay $7,500 in added value costs to correct the depth of the pool at the new high school. Assistant Superintendent Dr. Joe Ketterlin explained fixing the pool will cost approximately $30,000 — 75% of which is being absorbed by the pool contractor, Associated Pool Builders, and Lescher and Mahoney, the general architects for the school projects. Ketterlin said the district must pay $7,500 because building a pool with a 12-foot depth would have cost the district $7,500 more than it paid for the 10-foot deep pool.

Judge Cannon heard the case of Baker vs. Stake at his court in Dillon Feb. 18, 1901. Mary Baker, a professional nurse and Denver resident, sued William Stake and his wife, who reside in Montezuma. Baker said she was called to nurse the ailing Mrs. Stake for four weeks, but was told she was only brought up as a visitor in the home and not entitled to the requested wages of $20 per week. Baker sued. Judge Cannon decided to cut the requested wages to $10 per week, and rendered judgement that the Stakes pay $40 to the plaintiff.
