Ski patrol strike in Telluride ends after 13 days
Local news source The Telluride Times reports that the Telluride Professional Ski Patrol Association (TPSPA) has officially voted to end the strike that started on December 27.
While the vote was reportedly not unanimous in favor of ending the strike, this means that Telluride Ski Resort’s patrol will be headed back to work.
The latest offer from Telluride Ski Resort came on Tuesday, January 6, with the resort announcing that the union was set to vote on that offer on January 8. This vote took place as planned.
Additional details regarding the specifics of the accepted deal don’t appear to be public at time of publishing.
After eight days of closure due to the strike, Telluride Ski Resort reopened on January 5 in limited capacity – just three of 149 runs were open and lift tickets were discounted to $30.
It’s also worth noting that the resort plans to start opening up more terrain soon, slated to reopen Lift 4 on Saturday, per a press release from the resort. This will allow access to Butterfly, Lower Misty Maiden, and Boomerang. The next priority for the resort will be getting the “Super Loop” open, as well as more lifts and additional terrain.
“Telluride Ski Resort wishes to thank the entire community for their patience and we are excited to have a great season together,” reads the release.
