Former Steamboat Springs resident and Smartwool employee, Alex Pashley, died in an avalanche Monday, in British Columbia with two other men. Pashley was currently living in Idaho. Friends are meeting at 1 p.m. at the top of Thunderhead to take a run in his honor.
A collared wolf has been at the sheep pens and corral and on the property of a Jackson County rancher for 12 days in a row now. And his cattle herd arrived Thursday and they’re starting to calve.

“They need to move. They come out, and it’s not working. We need it removed just like we’d remove a bear. It’s been here 12 days. It’s like they’re waiting for it to slaughter some cattle. And I want them to move it before that happens.”
The rancher has three livestock guardian dogs that have been keeping it away from his sheep. Colorado Parks and Wildlife says that local officers are working with the producer and his neighbors to deploy non-lethal hazing tools to make the wolf uncomfortable so that it hopefully moves out of the area.
This is the same ranch we told you about on Monday, March 24.
