As we head into the second week of the Telluride ski patrol strike with the resort partially reopened as negotiations continue, we finally have an long-form interview with one of the folks on the picket line.
Local radio station WKRP Montrose Colorado spoke with a 7-year veteran Telluride ski patroller who remained anonymous during the interview as he provided his firsthand account of current situation including what led to the decision to strike, how patrol staffing impacts resort operations and what ultimately what needs to happen for Telluride to fully and safely reopen.
There has been extensive coverage on the Telluride ski patrol strike in the past few weeks but very little behind press releases and hearsay. We would like to commend the folks at WKPR for scoring this enlightening interview that provides some much needed context and dispels a bunch of humors that have been brewing as negotiations have been continuing behind closed doors.
