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.

Tax second home and airbnb owners more. Clearly they can absorb it.
Big kudos to the benevolent Steamboat billionaire… but clearly (again) we can’t rely on that, it’s not their natural tendency. And Blevins is right… the heir or heirs to the benevolent billionaire is unlikely to also be benevolent.
And Jonathan, where does your proposal (the town employing patrollers) end? Chuck will start looking to unload lifties, cooks, capital investments, etc. He’ll hold the town hostage to keep bumping his margins, year after year.
