In this episode of the OutThere Colorado Podcast, Spencer and Seth chat about a wolf that died during a CPW operation, a vote related to renaming two 14ers, a quintessential Colorado mountain man with a taste for cinema, and how up to 24 inches of snow could be on the way.

In this special interview episode of the OutThere Colorado Podcast, Spencer chats with Kyla Pearce, a reporter with the Denver Gazette who covers the ski industry and outdoor recreation. Topics discussed include the impact that this season's lack of snow is having on ski areas, as well as Kyla's thru-hike on the 500-mile Colorado Trail.
In this episode of the OutThere Colorado Podcast, Spencer and Seth chat about a phenomenon that could result in the disappearance of Colorado's second-largest natural lake, two wild backcountry rescues, an awesome dino-themed excursion near Denver, and a breaking news report related to a fatal I-70 crash involving a snow plow and a hockey team's van. Note: This episode is a special mid-week episode, so it's a bit shorter. Also – we recently overhauled our studio. Don't forget to check out what we've got going on over on YouTube, too.
In this episode of the OutThere Colorado Podcast, Spencer and Seth chat about Alex Honnold's wild free solo climb up Taipei 101, the snow situation in Colorado, a major upgrade at a locals' favorite resort, skier visitation being down, a fossil that was discovered, a fine-dining spot that checks the boxes (and comes with a great view), and more.

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.

Hi! Responding to "complaining" (Outdoor Colorado's word) out-of-towners who looked for an outdoor adventure *without* knowing there was lots of risk and inconvenience should do lots of research before they visit CO. Colorado, like most of Europe does not treat their wilderness areas and their linking vehicular roads that are open to the public as if they were part of a theme park. As it is, way too much accommodation in recent years in our state and federal parks in CO has actually led to this confusion with tourists.
