Rocky Mountain Travel Telluride Ski Patrollers continue their strike as New Years Day brings day 5 of the strike. According to the Colorado Sun, neither the owner, Chuck Horning, nor the patrollers appear ready to restart stalled contract negotiations.
A statement appearing on the Telluride Ski Resort website, offers lift ticket holders impacted by the strike some guidance on how to obtain refunds.
