Letters to Santa The Durango Herald is assisting Santa this year in collecting letters from local children. Turkey Trot Rain and snow held off long enough for runners to enjoy a dry 5-mile race and a 1-mile fun run on Thursday at Fort Lewis College. With the first big snow in town, winter has hit Durango.

Crash kills Cortez woman, seriously injures three kids. Three Durango schools evacuated after bomb threats. Despite paralysis and heartbreak, Durangoan finds joy. However, Rothko was notoriously hermetic about his studio practices. We don't know all that much about what materials he used and how exactly he did it, but by looking closely, we can learn a lot. Now how these forms are liberated in space, how they even have this ability to move via color is also about the way Rothko handles the edges of these floating cloud-like forms.

Rothko layered zone over zone over zone of paint. Here we can a very bright blue, almost totally overpainted by a dark burgundy. It appears that Rothko often flared out paint, one layer over another and as we look at the edges, we realize that there's kind of a buzzing sensation as these two colors compete for our attention and almost vibrate against one another.

To further allow these forms to float off and away from the surface of the canvas, Rothko often softened the corners of these forms and here we see something called a "turpentine burn", where the artist likely took some solvent on the rag and scrubbed back into the surface of the canvas, blending all of those colors together meanwhile erasing a hard corner, which would visually locate that form in space. In addition to leaving hints of these colors around the edges of forms, crucially, Rothko allows you to see through veils of paint because he painted so thinly.

Now let me show you exactly how Rothko painted so thinly. Rothko would add so much turpentine to his paint, that he would stain the canvas, less painting on the canvas, but really pushing his paint into it as a stain.

A Planned Community

Because these stains are so thin, you're able to read one color quite literally through another. In thicker areas of paint, you see the over layer. In thinner areas of that over layer, you begin to see the under layer. One goal for the near future is to improve and add-on to an existing trail in the Log Chutes trail system on the west side of Junction Creek Road.

The plan is to add features and re-route unsustainable portions of the existing route and build about a mile-long extension above the trail following an old bulldozer track. Wenger says the forest service is willing to treat the trail design as meant for predominantly downhill mountain bike use. Janowiak said trails specifically designed for mountain bike use are a realistic opportunity as long as they are in the right place where trail user conflicts will be kept to a minimum.

Log Chutes is one of those places, as well as at Purgatory Resort. In addition, a more long-term goal is a joint project with the Bureau of Land Management and Trails to improve the trails on Animas City Mountain.

The plan to is create loops meant for hikers, a multi-use trail and trails intended for mountain bikers. While their missions are slightly different, the relationship between Trails and 4CFC is not a contentious rivalry. Wenger says that a huge part of what he would like to see is directional trails that spread people out among the trail systems to avoid conflicts.

In his vision, echoing Janowiak of the Forest Service, there would be trails with advanced mountain bike features such as jumps and rocks that are meant to be traveled in the downhill direction. This would allow bikers to ride fast without fear of running into a hiker or equestrian.

In addition to expert-level trails, Wenger said Durango has a need for areas for beginner and intermediate riders to practice features such as jumps before tackling harder trails. Monroe Brown, director of Trails , pointed to projects that are in the works for the downhill crowd.

Purgatory Resort has worked to rejuvenate its bike park since the creation of the Divinity Flow Trail in Now, the park is managed by Hogan Koesis, who previously helped turn the Angel Fire Bike Park in New Mexico into a top mountain bike destination in the country. In town, a marquee project for the cycling community has been a bike park with trails and mountain bike features.

The idea is being considered as a part of the development of Ewing Mesa. Wenger said he takes inspiration from places such as Spokane, Washington, and Park City, Utah, which have trail systems like the one he describes.

Wenger also has a background in trail building from working at Winter Park when they were first developing what is now Trestle Bike Park, one of the predominant bike parks in the state. A caveat to talking about building new trails is the time that it takes to plan, build and maintain them.
