Nearby: Carbondale, COThe Roaring Fork High School boys soccer team’s playoff run came to an end Wednesday night. The No. 3 seed Rams fell 1-0 to No. 2 DSST: Conservatory Green in the Class 3A semifinals in Lakewood. The Rams entered the game without several key members following Saturday’s quarterfinal victory over No. 6 Eagle Ridge Academy in Carbondale. Senior defender Michael Parada was sidelined after receiving a red card, while fellow defender Randy Candela, who also received a red card Saturday, was cleared to play after successfully appealing his ejection. Perhaps the Rams’ most significant absence, however, was head coach Nick Forbes, who was also shown a red card during the quarterfinal matchup. Adapting to play without Parada presented some challenges for the Rams. “As a team in the playoffs, you have got to overcome those kinds of things, and this team turned out to be one step too far for us,” Forbes said. Despite these setbacks, the Rams kept it to 0-0 throughout the first half.

Nearby: Aspen, COThe last time musician Foy Vance played Aspen, the altitude got the better of him. “What I remember from playing here — there was an oxygen tank,” Vance said, recalling his past headlining show in 2023 and his 2014 show with Brett Dennen, both at Belly Up. “Didn’t think I’d need it. Then I did!” Now, Vance is returning “for the first time in a long time,” bringing the North American leg of his 60-date 2026 Foy Vance World Tour to the Wheeler Opera House on Thursday, Nov. 19. From Aspen, the tour heads to Boulder’s Fox Theatre on Friday, then to the Gothic Theatre in Denver on Saturday. I recently caught up with him by phone at his home in Scotland, where he was between two records — one just out, one just beginning to arrive. In March, he released “The Wake,” his seventh studio album, on Rounder Records.

Nearby: Aspen, COThe Roaring Fork Transportation Authority will transition to its winter bus schedule on Nov. 23 — bringing 45% more seats than the typical winter schedule for mid-valley morning commuters between El Jebel and Aspen. The change will add five VelociRFTA buses headed up-valley to the schedule between 6:15 and 7:45 a.m, starting at El Jebel Park and Ride. RFTA Public Information Officer Jamie Tatsuno said the decision to add these “fresh start” buses is based on feedback from riders, drivers and supervisors. “By the time our BRT buses get midvalley, they’re full, and those midvalley passengers boarding on the bus have to stand or wait for another bus,” Tatsuno said. “We’re also assigning larger capacity buses to our busiest morning trips.” She added that additional routes added over the summer were unable to keep up with passenger demand. “We added summer routes as well, but it wasn’t enough. So now, we’re doing it again,” she said.

Nearby: Aspen, COIf you thought the irrational, borderline dangerous rush to ski powder commonly referred to as the “Powder Panic” was bad in years past, just wait until you see the total frenzy unleashed in Aspen on the first powder day this year. Coming off last year’s drought ski season, there’s a palpable, pent-up “powder rage” brewing. This year, all that anger and irrational behavior to get there first is going to be boosted. I can already feel the angst surging in my bones. Powder’s a potent drug. I’ve very nearly died under its influence. Powder is a fickle commodity that will have you begging forgiveness, borrowing trouble and stealing away at daybreak to cop a line. If you skin up before Thanksgiving to get a fix, make sure you have good health insurance before you go. I used to be that guy. Now I wait for the snowcats, patrol, bootpackers and other skiers do the preparatory work for me. You won’t see me skiing a black run when the rope drops for the first time.
