South Broadway outdoor consignment shop gearing up for first ski season

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:21:39 GMT

A south Broadway consignment shop is suiting up for its first full ski season. Charlie Fay opened Second Wind Sports in 3,000 square feet at 1901 S. Broadway in February, at the tail end of last year’s ski season. Now, with Colorado’s first ski areas weeks away from opening, Fay said he has hundreds of skis in stock. Fay said consignment shops are perfect for those that are new to outdoor sports or want to be environmentally friendly. And, especially for ski gear, it saves your wallet.“It comes to $2,500 at a normal ski shop versus $500 here,” Fay said of buying ski equipment. “More people can get more access to the outdoors.”Fay, born and raised in Cherry Hills Village, graduated from Santa Clara University in California at the beginning of the pandemic. Not quite ready to move back home, he found himself road tripping in the west when he stopped in Bozeman, Montana. “I liked being in a mountain town and skiing and hiking … and the people there in Bozeman are very nice,” Fay said. ...

Nuggets are scheming preseason bench offense around rookie Julian Strawther. As long as he keeps making shots, why stop in the real games?

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:21:39 GMT

David Adelman knew nobody wanted double overtime in Chicago. “Like, absolutely nobody,” he admits. And still, down two with 0.6 seconds remaining in regulation last Thursday, instead of drawing up a play for a catch-and-shoot three, the Nuggets’ interim coach designed a lob to the rim that resulted in the highlight of Denver’s preseason.Braxton Key’s buzzer beater also resulted in the team not getting home until 3 a.m. that night. Adelman played for the tie because “I couldn’t help it,” he said. “I love that play.”That also seems to be his stance on creating shots for Julian Strawther right now.As Adelman walked out the door after his postgame press conference Sunday night at Ball Arena, he paused to issue an addendum. The Nuggets had just avenged their double-overtime loss in Chicago with a 116-102 win over the Bulls, thanks in part to Strawther’s increasingly astonishing offense. So Adelman wisecracked that Strawthe...

Colorado Supreme Court upholds controversial Google search warrant in deadly Green Valley Ranch arson case

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:21:39 GMT

The Colorado Supreme Court on Monday upheld a controversial search warrant that Denver police used to identify the teenagers accused of killing five people in a house fire three years ago, while also finding that Coloradans have a constitutionally-protected privacy interest in their Google search histories.The justices found in a 5-2 decision that Denver police acted in good faith when they used a “reverse keyword search warrant,” which required Google to turn over the account information for any users who searched particular keywords in a particular time frame. Denver police used that information from Google to identify the teenagers now accused of setting the fatal fire in Green Valley Ranch.The reverse keyword search warrant in this case might be legally flawed, but the evidence will still be allowed in court because police acted in good faith, the majority of justices found.“In reaching these conclusions, we make no broad proclamation about the propriety of rev...

The cheap streaming era is over. Here’s why your bills are going up

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:21:39 GMT

Wendy Lee and Thomas Suh Lauder | Los Angeles Times (TNS)When a flood of streaming services entered the market four years ago, the free trials were plentiful and the prices were extremely low — with Apple TV+ selling for just $4.99 a month and Disney+ charging a mere $6.99 a month.But now, as those services become more established, subscription costs have ballooned. In 2022, prices for the 10 largest streamers have increased an average of 10% and increased 10% on average in 2023 thus far, according to the Convergence Research Group, a market research company. Fees are expected to increase even more next year, the firm said.Media companies are charging more as they struggle to transition from profitable but declining business models — like traditional television channels — to on-demand streaming services, many of which are still losing money. The surges in pricing come as consumers are grappling with inflation and broader economic uncertainty. People who abandoned expensive cable bun...
