A sneak peek at tomorrow's print ediiton of the Montrose Daily Press ...

In tomorrow's print edition of the Montrose Daily Press, you can read about the West Slope Mid-Year Water Summit that took play in Montrose this week (spoiler alert: it's not good news); and also about how the Montrose City Council — led by a slate of council members endorsed by the local Republicans as "vetted Conservative" — is electing not to do a Pride Month proclamation this year.





Also in tomorrow's print edition, you can read about local company Geyser Systems' next big step — which involves getting its water-centric products to U.S. service members.



Have a Good One,

Montrose High School saw 277 students graduate this year. Over at Olathe Middle High School, 66 seniors graduated — and the class placed a single chair among their own in recognition of Aniya Corona, who was part of the Class of 2026, who passed away in third-grade.

Telluride Bike Park won’t open this season

It’s too bad we ran a headline this winter titled “Taking the ‘Ride’ out of Telluride, because the pun is once again appropriate. Telluride Ski and Golf won’t open the resort’s downhill mountain bike part this year, citing upgrades to Lift 4, which serves the park, as the reason.
