This past weekend, something happened that has never happened in the history of resort skiing: in the span of 12 hours, most ski areas abruptly suspended operations. So on our latest #blisterpodcast, we talked to veteran ski industry reporter, Jason Blevins of the Colorado Sun, about the COVID-19 pandemic and the historic mass closure of ski areas. We discuss what, exactly, is going on; what is likely to come next; the impact on ski towns; and what each of us should and should not be doing right now.

TOPICS & TIMES:

  • Have you ever seen anything like this before? (1:36)
  • Explain what’s going on? (3:51)
  • The Executive Order from the Governor of Colorado (6:30)
  • What does this mean for mountain towns? (15:18)
