With tourists heading for the hills, there are plenty of things that tick off the good people of Aspen. Vail’s been inundated, too, and in addition to hordes of skiers, this weekend the town will attract many New Year’s Eve revelers. Built strategically along I-70 (it’s no mistake that the only main roads going into and out of Vail are I-70 exits) in the not-so-distant past, Vail is like a Disney model of a ski town — only you can actually go there and ski.  Still, despite the practiced and mandatory smiles of the employees who work the resort town (and probably have to live in other parts of Eagle County), there are somethings that ruffle the feathers of Vail residents.

Denver Broncos lovers like to think of themselves as the best and biggest fans anywhere — but the folks at Fansided don’t agree. A Time Inc. website, Fansided has published the Fandom 250, an unusual project that essentially rates apples against oranges. Rather than using specific categories (fans’ favorite sports…

In some ways, the Denver Broncos were lucky yesterday, despite the unlucky final results of their game against the Tennessee Titans. The Broncos lost the contest 13-10 — a defeat that exposed the offense, even under returning starter Trevor Siemian, as being incapable of making big plays when they count…

The “no hassles, no hype” ski area near Glenwood Springs is marking its fiftieth-anniversary season, and nods to its history — including photos and artifacts dating back to 1966 — will adorn the lodge.

Earlier this week, we wrote about the tragic death of Rashaan Salaam, the first Heisman Trophy winner ever for the University of Colorado Buffaloes.

Update: Instagram model Elizabeth Ruiz, who reportedly wanted $2.5 million to destroy a sex tape co-starring Denver Broncos superstar Von Miller (see our previous coverage below), has made her first public comments about the controversy to TMZ, which originally broke the story — and to put it mildly, they’re bizarre.
