Local Businesses Feel Weight Of The Telluride Ski Resort Closure
"The Telluride Ski Patrol strike is creeping up to one week, with the ski resort remaining closed since Saturday, December 27th. Earlier this week, Telluride Ski Resort released a statement explaining that they're actively seeking qualified and experienced personnel to temporarily fill the gaps to push for a reopening, but the Town of Telluride is feeling the impact in the meantime."
"Black Tie Ski Rental, a larger company that operates throughout North America, is offering risk free rentals to deal with the closure, guaranteeing that customers will not be charged if the resort is still closed on their rental days. Additionally, the company promises that they'll continue to pay their full team of 40+ employees throughout the closure, and will be available to help guests navigate changes or questions during the strike. Of course this isn't always a viable option for smaller local companies."
""As you have likely heard, Telluride Ski Patrol is currently on strike and lift operations are closed while negotiations continue. The mountain is the life blood of this community and Ski Patrol is essential for the safety of this unique mountain and guests. Our hope is that both sides can reach a fair resolution as soon as possible for the health of the town and the business here that rely so directly on both." - Black Tie Ski Rental"
Telluride Ski Patrol has been on strike, leaving the ski resort closed since Saturday, December 27. The resort is seeking qualified temporary personnel to enable a reopening. Short-term rental bookings fell 54% year-over-year in the last week, and local companies such as TelluRides have experienced major sales drops. Tellurides reports a 22% sales decline between December 27 and December 1. Black Tie Ski Rental is offering risk-free rentals, guaranteeing no charges if the resort remains closed and continuing payroll for its 40+ employees. Regional governments and local authorities are considering financial measures to address economic fallout.
