Our New General Manager
You've had the opportunity to meet our new GM, Randi Clark at the December board meeting. We hope you were able to take advantage.
Our community is quite large and has several areas of focus that may take some time to learn all the ins and outs of how this place runs.
If you see our WL50 Loader, we affectionately call Wilson, going down the road, don't be surprised, it might just be Randi. Remember, you've seen her picture, she just has a thousand or so faces to meet. Welcome Randi!

No Sledding or Tubing
On CLCC Roads
Please stay safe this winter. Sledding and tubing on our CLCC roads and office access road is prohibited. We have received reports of several close calls over the holiday. Pulling sleds, tubes, skiers, and snowboarders behind vehicles is also prohibited. Provide a safe environment for youngsters to play within your private property. Fort building in our roadways can only lead to accidents. Please make sure your guests and renters are aware of these rules!
The Grand Lake Nordic Center offers a free tubing hill to enjoy. See link below. Don't let a good time end in tragedy.

With the start of a new year, many people make a list of “New Year’s Resolutions”. Here are some thoughtful resolutions for responsible CLCC residents, guest and renters. | |
CLCC New Years Resolutions
I resolve to:
- Never park on CLCC private roadways or lots, which interferes with snow removal.
- Double check your Home Owner's AppFolio account and update contact information that may have changed.
- Make the time to review your homeowners and vehicle insurance.
-
Make sure your property can be easily located in case of an emergency. Be Wildfire Ready
-
Sign up for Code Red in Grand County.
- Meet some neighbors. Attend some CLCC events, you may just make some new friends.
- Drive safely. 15MPH on all CLCC roads.
- Outdoor lights should be motion sensor or timed off by 10pm. Let's enjoy the night sky.
- Keep your pets leashed on all community property.
- Make sure your curb stop water shutoff can be easily accessed in case of an emergency.
- Double check your batteries in all fire alarms and carbon monoxide detectors.

Dispose Of Ashes Safely!
We all enjoy the warmth and crackle of a nice wood fire this time of year. Especially after a long day at the slopes or hitting the trails. Every winter we encounter too many close calls regarding improper ash disposal. Safe ash disposal is necessary in keeping our community protected from fire danger. Improperly discarded ashes can easily pose a severe fire risk.
Charcoal, charred firewood, and ashes can remain hot enough to start a fire for many hours, even days, after you think the fire is out.
As a safety precaution, treat all charcoal, charred wood, and ashes as hot.
Recommendations for homeowner’s:
- CLCC ash cans are located outside the dumpster area to the right of the enclosure.
- Have a metal bucket at your home for ashes to cool before bringing them to the ash containers provided by our trash facility.
-
Do NOT place your household trash into the ash can!
- Allow charcoal and wood to burn out completely and let ashes cool at least 48 hours prior to disposal.
-
Never place ash and coal debris in the compactor or recycling area.
Please remind your family, friends, guests and renters of these safety procedures.

Be Aware Of Your Surroundings!
Just a reminder to stay aware and alert while out and about. Last winter, Parks and Wildlife had to be called in to CLCC community to relocate several mountain lions that had become a problem to our homeowners.
We live in the mountains, and so do they. These beautiful and majestic creatures would much prefer a mule deer over our family pets but as the snow gets deeper they tend to follow the path of least resistance to find food which is unfortunately, plowed driveways and roads. This is why we tend to see them more often during the winter on our roads and under our decks.
Thus far our office has received no reports of sightings in our community, but remember, if you see something, say something.
Even though human attacks are extremely rare, remember these big cats are hunters of opportunity, and like all mammals will fight to protect their young.

I Am Stuck On Band-Aid!
Yet when you swim,
Band-Aid is not stuck on you!
Our pool has been overwhelmed with a literal Band-Aid infestation. Our maintenance staff finds them everywhere from the pool deck, in the skimmers, floating on the surface, and worst of all in the filters. Yes, in those closets off of the pool deck there lives a complex array of machinery that circulates the water constantly, keeping it warm, clean and bacteria free. It is not designed to house Band-Aids, and whatever comes with them. We all get scrapes, papercuts, and boo boos are just part of being a kid. But keep in mind, larger wounds heal best when kept dry and clean. In those cases it would be a good time for some ping pong or pool table practice.
So help us keep our pool clean and functioning properly by removing all Band-Aids before you or your youngsters swim.

Snow Berms Happen
At the risk of sounding like a broken record, we need to remind everyone again that there is no way to avoid snow berms across your driveway. We have gotten multiple calls regarding this annoying inevitable winter issue. Our maintenance staff is responsible for the main community roads. Unfortunately
plowing snow always leaves a berm behind. So please contact your private driveway plow operator or get out your shovels. Winter in the mountains has just begun.
