Mountain Town Economics 2.0, w/ Jason Blevins (Part 1)

Mountain Town Economics 2.0, w/ Jason Blevins (Part 1)

Today, Colorado Sun co-founder, Jason Blevins, is back to give us the latest on Telluride reopening and the end of the ski patrol strike; we discuss recent developments in affordable housing in Steamboat Springs; we look at various ownership models of ski areas (including what’s happening at Eldora in Colorado); and we ask the big questions: what are the responsibilities of the owners of ski areas, and how do we create more sustainable — and more stable — relationships between ski areas and mountain towns?

Note: We Want to Hear From You!

We’d love for you to share with us the stories or topics you’d like us to cover next month on Reviewing the News; ask your most pressing mountain town advice questions, or offer your hot takes for us to rate. You can email those to us here.
