A 10-year-old dog named Rocky was rescued and reunited with his owner after surviving 43 days alone in Summit County, Colorado.
According to local media, volunteers and members of the community helped search for the dog for weeks, eventually locating and capturing him using a tip from a homeowner who spotted Rocky on her Ring camera and a trap set with the owner’s scent.
According to Summit Daily, Rocky had gone from 50 pounds to 28 pounds during the time he was lost. Video shows Rocky finally being reunited with Maa and his girlfriend.

In 1899, Breckenridge recorded snow falling for
79 consecutive days, nearly three months of
nonstop winter. Imagine digging out every morning… for almost an entire season.
Could a winter like that ever happen
again in Colorado?

On the evening of March 7, a person was reported missing in the Boss Basin area, an upper portion of Resolution Creek south of Ptarmigan Pass. Summit County Rescue Group, Vail Mountain Rescue Group, Summit County Sheriff's Office, and Eagle County Sheriff's Office responded and found an avalanche with ski and snowmobile tracks nearby and leading into it. At sunrise on March 8, supported by Flight For Life Colorado, they found the missing person deceased in the avalanche debris.
CAIC staff visited the site on March 8. The avalanche occurred near treeline on a northeast-facing slope. The avalanche was about two feet deep. Slope angles in the starting zone ranged from 33 to 36 degrees. We'll update the preliminary report (https://avalanche.state.co.us/.../741d5676-5242-44f6-937d...) with additional information after that visit and publish a final report as soon as possible.
We offer our deepest condolences to the family and friends of the victim.

SUMMIT COUNTY, Colo. — Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) invites anglers to attend two in-person
State of the Fish public meetings in Silverthorne, Colorado.
The first meeting will focus on the rivers in Summit County and will take place on Monday, March 16, starting at 6:30 p.m. The meeting will begin with a brief presentation by Nathan Elder with Denver Water on the expected flow conditions for 2026, followed by presentations about the status and management of the fisheries from CPW Aquatic Biologist Jon Ewert. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions following the presentations.
The second meeting, which will cover the lakes and reservoirs in Summit County, is scheduled for Wednesday,
March 18, also starting at 6:30 p.m. During this meeting, attendees will gain insights into the current status of fish populations and fisheries management activities in Summit County lakes and reservoirs, including Dillon and
Green Mountain reservoirs. Following the presentation, attendees will have an opportunity to ask questions
and have open discussions.
“There have been a few management changes and projects we’ve undertaken in the past few years that I think folks will be interested in,” said Ewert. “It’s important for us to periodically share this information and get input from the angling public.”
Both meetings will be held in the conference room at The Block Hotel, located at 491 Rainbow Dr, Silverthorne, CO 80498, and no virtual option will be available.
