Here are the top five stories in Boulder today:

  1. Climber dies after fall in Eldorado Canyon. Thursday afternoon a climber fell hundreds of feet and died while descending a wall at Eldorado Canyon State Park. The identity of the climber has not been released yet. (9News)
  2. Superior taking additional steps combat smoky water taste and smell. Superior residents are experiencing some unexpected fallout from the Marshall Fire, which includes water that smells and tastes like smoke. (Yahoo)
  3. City denies liquor permit at Boulder Reservoir restaurant. Boulder's Beverage Licensing Authority denied a liquor license for a new restaurant at the Boulder Reservoir, as community members lined up to testify against it. The denial flies in the face of Boulder's plans to expand concessions and add a restaurant with a liquor license at the reservoir. (CO Daily)
  4. Donate your unused musical instruments. Victims of the Marshall Fire lost instruments in the fire and the 2022 Bringing Music to Life instrument drive is March 7-20. (CPR)
  5. Man attacked by mountain lion. Colorado Parks and Wildlife officials say a man in southwest Colorado was involved in a mountain lion attack. The victim sustained multiple puncture wounds below the knee from the claws, and a paw print was found outside the home. (Out There)

From my notebook:

  • Saddles Found: On March 1, Boulder County Sheriff's Department recovered 13 saddles that were dumped along the side of the road. The saddles are all very similar, so we believe they are from the same owner (or company/outfitter), not individually stolen. (Facebook)
