🐻 Bears Are Getting Ready for Winter, Secure Your Trash

As the weather cools, bears are in hyperphagia mode, eating as much as they can to bulk up before winter. That means they're covering more ground and are more motivated than ever to find an easy meal, and unsecured trash is one of the biggest draws into town.

Please help keep bears wild and our neighborhoods safe:

🗑️ Store trash in a bear-resistant container, garage, or other secure location
🗑️ Only put bins out the morning of pickup, not the night before
🗑️ Clean up food, grease, and grills right after use

Please note that leaving trash accessible to wildlife may result in fines under local ordinance. Let's all do our part to keep bears out of trouble this fall.

🍂🧢 Okay, we can't keep this one under wraps any longer... The "something extra" we've been hinting at is a custom Fraser belt buckle! 🤠✨ This year's Hat Hunt prize bag just leveled up: the gray "Leaving Planet Earth" cap PLUS a gorgeous engraved buckle featuring the mountains, a rainbow trout, an elk, a mountain biker and skier, all wrapped around the Fraser name. Pure Colorado in your hands.

10 hats. 10 buckles somewhere in the mix. 10 days of clues. Still no set start date, we're waiting on the aspens to do their thing, so keep your eyes on the hills around town. The second those leaves start turning gold, the hunt is ON and the first clue drops right here. 👀

Who's ready to go find some hardware? 🍁

Afternoon showers are back ⛈️

That classic Rocky Mountain summer pattern returned this afternoon. Big, moody clouds rolled in, with virga and scattered showers visible over the peaks. Caught this shot from our Lions Ponds we**am around 3:25pm, looking out toward the mountains with Fraser down below.

If you're headed out this evening, keep an eye on the sky. These storms can build fast and move through quick. Great excuse to grab a coffee and watch the show from somewhere dry!

🍂 First look at this year's Fraser Hat Hunt hat... 🧢

"Leaving Planet Earth", because that's exactly what a good trail day feels like.

We're still a couple of weeks out (waiting on the aspens to do their thing), but the hunt bags are packed, and we may or may not be tucking in a little something extra this year. 👀

10 hats. 10 locations. 10 days. Stay tuned; the first clue drops when the leaves do.

Heads up, Fraser: starting tomorrow, Thursday, August 27, the pedestrian crosswalk signals near the Birdie Lounge and Fisher's will be temporarily removed for repair work. We don't have a firm timeline for when they'll be back up yet; we'll post an update here as soon as we know more.

Please use extra caution when crossing at this location while the signals are out.

Thanks for your patience while we get this fixed!

Update: We believe we've identified the issue causing the glitch, and the crosswalk signals should be working properly now. Please continue to keep an eye on them and let us know if you notice any further issues.
