Avalanche Reminds Back Country Skiers of Danger
The early start to Colorado's snow season has already resulted in several avalanches.

Saturday, another skier was caught in a wave of snow and rocks, and buried up to their neck on Bartlett Peak, between Leadville and Copper Mountain. The Summit County Rescue Group were able to locate and fly the victim to a hospital, but the accident just serves as another reminder about the dangers of avalanches, even early in the ski season.

Already this season slides have been reported in Rocky Mountain National Park and on Independence, Loveland and Jones passes.

Track How Colorado is Spending Stimulus Money
Colorado has spent about a fifth of its money coming from the federal stimulus law.

State officials announced Tuesday that the state has already spent about $345 million in stimulus money on wide-ranging projects from boosting food stamp payments to paying the salaries of public employees who might otherwise have been fired because of falling tax receipts.

Colorado expects to receive about $1.6 billion from the stimulus law. Authorities say that figure will balloon to about $5.7 billion considering payments that won't come through the state, plus tax cuts.

To take a look at the numbers yourself, and to see how your county is benefiting, just click on the link below to visit the state's recovery act spending web site.
