The decision to investigate a December trip by Mountain Village's former mayor to meet the owner of Telluride Ski Resort is an about-face by local leaders, who previously said they wouldn’t launch an investigation into the incident. www.denverpost.com/2026/01/26/m...

Telluride Town Council will investigate one of its members who visited the owner of Telluride Ski Resort, where ski patrollers were striking, & made an offer to purchase the resort.

These stories will make you rethink everything you learned in history class. After all, it’s likely that people’s state of mind, however altered, influenced what they did and the decisions they made. www.denverpost.com/2026/01/12/h...

The moment many have been waiting for: After 13 days on strike, the Telluride Professional Ski Patrol Association has accepted a new contract offer from Telluride Ski & Golf to end the work stoppage. The mountain will begin reopening more terrain this weekend. www.denverpost.com/2026/01/08/t...

Even kids from the local school protested yesterday and they didn't mince words. “I think it sucks,” said 12-year-old Joaquin Sloan. “This town is built around skiing, and if you take that away from us, it’s not OK.”

As the rally gets started here comes an update from TelSki. Union set to vote on a new contract 1/8

I’m in downtown Telluride where the business community is rallying to plead with both the ski resort and patrollers union to find a resolution soon before the local economy enters a crisis.

The picturesque town of Telluride on Colorado's Western Slope is in turmoil after its signature ski resort and patrollers union reached an impasse in contract negotiations -- causing the patrol to strike, the resort to close and many tourists to cancel their vacations. How did we get here? 1/🧵

Just 10 days in, the impact of Telluride's ski patroller strike and subsequent mountain closure are no longer hypothetical. Local leaders say town is staring down an "economic crisis." By the time I turned in this story, a restaurant had announced its closure. www.denverpost.com/2026/01/06/t...

It was a truly wild year for local beer. Many of the most notable closures are companies that haven’t even disappeared entirely, but transformed in ways that left the local beer community with a sense of mourning. www.denverpost.com/2025/12/31/c...

“There’s no saying how long this is going to last,” the ski patrol union president said. “We did everything we possibly could to avert this and we will happily come off the line once there’s a contract that addresses our broken structure and concerns.” www.denverpost.com/2025/12/29/t...

LATEST: Telluride Ski Resort remained closed today, as its ski patrollers spent their third day on strike.

With its recent flurry of deals, Wilding Brands has brought M&A back into the beer spotlight & quietly become one of Colorado’s largest alcohol producers. But who are they & what are they really trying to do? I got a unique opportunity to peer behind the curtain. www.denverpost.com/2025/12/02/w...

In 2024, more craft breweries closed than opened across the nation – a first in nearly two decades. But Wilding Brands' founders don’t see these challenges as insurmountable. Instead, they believe this new era calls for a new way of thinking and, importantly, a new business model.
