Lack of ice cancels ice racing season at Colorado’s Georgetown Lake
A lack of ice has canceled this season’s ice racing at Georgetown Lake in Colorado’s mountains. The ice racing season had already been delayed due to unusually warm temperatures and there were only two weekends left for Our Gang Ice Racing, including Feb. 21-22 and Feb. 28-March 1, before those were canceled.
The racing company posted on social media, “This isn’t the way we hoped things would go, and it’s incredibly disappointing for all of us. Ice racing isn’t just about competition — it’s about the friendships, the families, the memories made in the cold, and the community that gathers around it.
“While the ice may not have cooperated this year, the spirit of our racing family is as strong as ever. We’re already looking forward to better conditions and getting back on the ice together next season.”
The ice racing tradition on Georgetown Lake began nearly five decades ago. Typically, there is 17 inches of thick ice over the lake, which allows for dozens of vehicles to hit the frozen lake using four wheel drive combined with some superior driving abilities.
Our Gang Ice Racing is a nonprofit organization.

Four people were taken to the hospital after a crash in Colorado’s high country on Friday evening.
The Colorado State Patrol said three vehicles were involved in a crash on east I-70 near milepost 254 (east of South Mount Vernon Country Club Road) around 5:50 p.m. They said the rear-end crash involved a semi hauling a trailer, a Dodge Durango and a Chevrolet Silverado.
Four people in the Dodge were taken to a local area hospital, but the extent of their injuries is not yet known. CSP said no other people involved in the crash were injured.
The cause of the collision remains under investigation.
Authorities closed I-70 at milepost 254 for approximately 1.5 hours while they investigated and cleared the scene.
CSP warned drivers that the winter weather has caused icy and snow-packed areas along the highway. They urged drivers to delay traveling through the area until conditions improve. Those who must travel through the area should leave extra space between vehicles and reduce their speed.
Dog survives 43 days in Colorado mountains and reunites with owner
After 43 days lost in the Colorado mountains, a Ring camera helps volunteers find and reunite 10-year-old dog, Rocky, with his owners.
A dog named Rocky was rescued and reunited with his owner after surviving 43 days alone in Summit County, Colorado.
Rocky, age 10, had gone missing in late December after escaping from a pet sitter while his owner was traveling.
According to local media, volunteers from Summit Lost Pet Rescue and members of the local community helped search for the dog for weeks, eventually locating and capturing him using a tip from a homeowner who spotted the dog on her Ring camera and a trap set with the owner’s scent.
According to Summit Daily, Rocky had gone from 50 pounds to 28 pounds during the time he was lost.
Video posted by Summit Lost Pet Rescue shows the heartwarming moment Rocky is reunited with his owner, Steven Maa.
“It takes partnership, a village, and donations to save lost pets,” the organization wrote on social media.
