Ironbridge, the subdivision located between Carbondale and Glenwood Springs, may be in trouble with financing.  The adjacent Ironbridge golf club is owned by LB Rose Ranch LLC—a subsidiary of Lehman Borthers.  The LLC wants bankruptcy protection, and that will impact the plans for dozens of housing units, stalling mortgages and also reducing the number of affordable units that can be occupied.
A bare bones operation of the Aspen Ice Garden will be the norm this summer, after several hockey enthusiasts offered to maintain the facility.  The City of Aspen was considering shutting the operation down, saving 160 thousand dollars. 
But the compromise will reduce hours but still allow skaters access, at a savings of about 100 thousand dollars.
