Wild costumes and warm temperatures brought the season’s last snow riders to Purgatory at Durango Mountain Resort on Sunday, the final day of daily operations on the mountain. As Luke Martin stretches, Jaime Denier, left, speaks to Ethan Bates before making a run. For the rest of the season, DMR will be open only for weekends, and that depends on snow conditions.

East Fork Hermosa Creek was confirmed to have no brook trout in a section north of Durango, which has allowed wildlife officials to stock it with native Colorado cutthroat trout. When all is said and done, the upper reaches of Hermosa Creek, north of Durango, will have the largest continuous stretch of native Colorado cutthroat trout in the state.
