Annual Chili Cookoff and Bingo Night Winners

A fun night with chili and games was had by all. Thank you to all who came out to sample some of the Best Chili and Deserts in all of Columbine Lake and the WORLD.

Gift Certs were given for 1st and 2nd place Chili and Deserts, and the winners in Bingo were awarded assorted new board games too.

Weed Warriors

Spring will be here before we know it! We are in need of volunteers to adopt small sections of roads and community property to pull noxious weeds and keep Columbine Lake beautiful. Many hands make light work! For more information and to sign up for your section, click the link below. Thank you in advance for helping our community! We will have several meet ups over the summer as well. Contact Katie Ellis with questions or to sign up:

Please!! No Parking on Roads!!

Section 14.01 Vehicles must be parked completely off the roads, cul-de-sacs and parking lots so that CLCC snowplowing operations can keep the areas cleared. If CLCC has to call a tow truck to clear a roadway, the offending vehicle will be towed at the owner’s expense. An owner who intends to use or rent his/her property must make arrangements for parking area snow removal on his/her property, in order not to block roads or cul-de-sacs. Class 4 Violation

OHV Users Regulations

Owners Regulations define OHVs as a transportation vehicle capable of reaching speeds greater than five MPH. Included are ATVs, motorcycles, snowmobiles, golf carts, scooters, motorized bikes and go-carts. We have had multiple offenders this winter, joy riding on the lake and around the neighborhood. Please be a good neighbor and review and abide by the regulations.

Article XII OHVs

Remember the Rule.....

Transportation From Place to Place!

These Machines Do Make Noice, So Give Your Neighbors Some Space!

Record Number Of Avalanches Predicted

Early spring is a great time to get out and enjoy the mountains. The days are not quite as cold, and those mountains are calling. Wether you are a snowmobiler, back county skier, or snowshoer, stay informed of avalanche danger.

Don't Forget to Spring Ahead!

Beware Of Thin Ice

With spring fast approaching please use extreme caution when recreating on our lake.

Ice thickness varies.
Recreating on the ice is always at your own risk.

Melting Snow, Take It Slow!

With spring melt right around the corner, it’s a good time to remind everyone that road conditions will vary. Warmer daytime temperatures will leave several inches of slush on our roads. Constant traffic causes berms of slush to form that may freeze when the nighttime temperatures drop. We are well aware of this yearly issue, and keep up with it as best we can. Please remember to use extra caution and slower speeds, especially during this transition time.
