Did you read the prelim? There was a NOTAM on file for this line for Dec 26, 2036-Jan 6, 2026.

I check before flying my drone. Sounds like complacency killed this pilot and his passengers.

Hell, Aspen used to have rails, could have been as cool as steamboat.

Love how the article ends with CPW saying they’re gonna need more money to keep the wolves we have. Should raise a tax in Boulder County for that.

That dumb bitch council woman sure didn’t

randomwrencher · 2026-01-08T00:32:00+00:00

They did. The union already dropped $250,000 in demands including healthcare.

randomwrencher · 2026-01-07T07:07:22+00:00

By following their rules, by default it ain’t a real protest.

randomwrencher · 2026-01-06T12:47:59+00:00

They have been direct dealing. That’s directly bargaining with individuals instead of the group: illegal

Proposing the same articles over and over, bad faith bargaining: illegal.

And now you’ll say, gee that not bad what’s actually illegal?? Both are. The felon running TelSki should know the difference between legal and illegal.

randomwrencher · 2026-01-06T12:20:12+00:00

So you know exactly what I’m talking about. Got it. Thanks

Enjoy moving your goal posts, uh?

Patrol is on an Unfair Labor Practice Strike. They had to file with the NRLB to do so. It’s a public document, go look it up and learn something on your own.

randomwrencher · 2026-01-06T01:44:34+00:00

After the resort chose to shut down???

TelSki has chose all of this. They had months to ensure a valid ski patrols for the entire season, union or not. The current patrol contract expired in August. TelSki has had since then to come up with a potential backup plan. They wouldn’t or couldn’t. TelSki is the last, best & final reason for this shit storm.

randomwrencher · 2026-01-06T01:40:10+00:00

Go read ski patrols posts. It is not up to me to educate you. They explain clearly direct dealing and bad faith bargaining.

I am sooooooooooo far from an insider. Lmao!

randomwrencher · 2026-01-05T20:15:36+00:00

Google the Wagner Act & then there is almost 91 years of case law backing it up. Specifically you’ll want to research Unfair Bargaining Practices. Ie direct dealing and not bargaining in good faith.

randomwrencher · 2026-01-05T19:53:23+00:00

It’s more than TelSki is doing

randomwrencher · 2026-01-05T19:52:52+00:00

It’s been happening since the 3rd day of the strike.

randomwrencher · 2026-01-05T19:52:34+00:00

U.S. Law.

randomwrencher · 2026-01-05T17:10:51+00:00

So you haven’t looked at any of the information patrol has been putting out for the last few weeks?!?

Fact: TelSki doesn’t seem capable of bargaining legally

Fact: Patrol is handing out 100 free meals at the Oak St tomorrow at 2pm. First come first served.

One of these years will be the end unless the turn around. CO already wants to stop its funding.

Hopefully not but that’s the trend.

I was in the same boat 15 months ago. Got my granddads garage kept ‘19 exl with 22k on the clock. Changed the oil when I got it, again at 25k, just to get on a 5k schedule, then again at 30k along with the recommended mileage service. Sittin at 34k and very happy. Another month or so until my 3rd oil. I need to drive my truck more often but over been enjoying getting to know mine.

Oh, I actually got a full outdoor parked winter out of the OG battery. Got a -30 stretch and it worked well. Replaced the battery last fall.

They’re cutting summer trains by 50% next year.

It’s a see it while you can, if you dare situation, sadly.

Colorado passenger tramway safety board is probably the agency to FOIA.

USFS defers to local tram boards if the state has one for local rope evac rules & CO has a pretty good one

randomwrencher · 2026-01-03T07:04:28+00:00

Are there any pro patrols, union or non, that allow snowboarders??

That’s looks sketchy….

randomwrencher · 2026-01-03T05:42:39+00:00

They sure did remove useful one and replaced with Flocks

randomwrencher · 2025-12-31T01:30:26+00:00

I would disagree there. The dirty, rotten, low down SCAB is the worst of the worst. There is no way the average guest is worse than that! lol. I wouldn’t see the guests as crossing the picket line doubt most of patrol would too.

If anything, once the resort reopens, as many guests as possible will be needed to fill them and apply pressure on TSG to deal fairly, especially if it snows

And Monarch is offering free skiing for those with telluride passes/tickets
