Telluride Ski Resort files a lawsuit against current and former Telluride and Mountain Village officials.
The Telluride Times reports that “The lawsuit essentially blames the 13-day Telluride Ski Patrol strike and concurrent 10-day closing of the mountain on the defendants.” The lawsuit alleges that the defendants had the power to control a labor strike, but allowed it to continue in order to harm the resort and give them more leverage to purchase Telski under favorable terms.
