Aspen Skiing Company, which runs the Aspen ski resort and Snowmass, have joined the resistance.

https://glennkbeaton.substack.com/p/aspen-skiing-company-joins-the-resistance?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=312769&post_id=151476033&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=ch0i9&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email

Excerpts-
Quote:
"Clearly, the approach of trying to model, speak aggressively, and 'teach' others is not sufficient," it warned in a memo to employees.

Quote:
company official complains that voters picked "a vision that can be viewed as openly at odds with some of the values [SkiCo] stands for...Equality, democracy, civility, compassion, tolerance, sustainability, open-mindedness, gratitude, freedom, integrity, and justice."
Quote:
Years ago, SkiCo decried Donald Trump's enforcement of America's immigration laws. Enforcement of those duly enacted American laws, they declared, was un-American.
There is a second vote in this country- where you spend your money.

Excluding those who don't vote like we do, of course.

I'd love to know how the conservative/MAGA agenda so clearly favored by a vast majority of America is at odds with any of those values.

I like Loveland much better than Aspen or Vail.
Take the lift to the top and ski some of the best blues in Colorado.

This is the Twitter account of Jeff Hanle, Aspen/Snowmass SkiCo's VP of Communications X account:
https://x.com/jhanle

He stopped posting in 2022 (shocking! ) but prior to that it's full of anti-Conservative invective, yet he retweets and posts SkiCo events etc....

I know that the elitists don't really care for the vermin to have access to or afford anything in Aspen....... but this memo was apparently quite egregious and down right Marxist/Authoritarian in it's nature.

It would be ashamed if people emailed their comms dept at https://www.aspensnowmass.com/media to complain.

Damn, guess Aspen didn't want their supply of valet parkers to dry up... can't be having these machines parking themselves during ski season...

Round up and dump the criminals and 50% of the rest, then bus the rest of the illegals to every location that wants them to stay. I would even give them fair warning so they can get the cots ready.

FAFO. 'Head'em up, move'em out Homan don't play.

ETA: accompany this with passing a bill prohibiting any Fed funds follow the illegals to NGOs, states and local govt's.
Pretty sure most of you don’t know me.

I really wish we could peacefully split up the country. We have nothing in common with those people and vice versa.

That was not the case 20 years ago.

"company official complains that voters picked "a vision that can be viewed as openly at odds with some of the values [SkiCo] stands for...Equality, democracy, civility, compassion, tolerance, sustainability, open-mindedness, gratitude, freedom, integrity, and justice."

Arguably only one of those describes blue team, open mindedness, to the point their brains fall out

There are a lot of places that are much better than Aspen. Aspen's heyday was in the 70s through early 2000s.

Just another CO craphole now.

The owners of Aspen Skiing Company also own a chunk of the yankees, bulls, rockefeller center, and hilton hotels to name a few.

A one day lift ticket online is $179 for Dec 4th, $199 for the weekends, and $264 per day during Christmas week.

How many illegals are they attracting at these prices ??

They should make their prices more in-line with poor immigrant or at least middle class families if they are going to start preaching to us...

Yes. I fly people in and out of there on the regular. What a cesspool. An extraordinarily beautiful cesspool, but filled with ASEholes.

Their concern is same as other businesses. They want cheap undocumented workers who they can pay meager wages. Many construction companies have the same desire for cheap semi skilled labor.
