Well, since I gave up skiing in 1976, due to a torn ACL, I guess this story doesn't affect me much. I'm sure the hotels, bars, and ski areas around there won't mind too much, though, if a bunch of affluent gays come to town.
If I did still ski, it wouldn't cause me to cancel a trip I'd planned there. I don't suppose there will be gay sex on the slopes, and I never hung out in bars when I was skiing anyhow.
One question, though: Do gays ski differently than straight people?

Hehehe...holding each other's poles, perhaps.
I wouldn't bet on that, actually. Public sex is apparently one of the things that happens a lot at "Gay events".

If Telluride is like other ski towns, most bars are restaurants and most restaurants are bars. If I'm planning a family vacation, I'd consider knowing that a gay event is on tap to be in the vein of a public service announcement. Doesn't necessarily me that I'd change my travel plans but that I would appreciate having 'fair warning', so to speak. Likewise if AARP is going to descend in mass at a site I'm planning to visit. Some of those old folks are unbelievably pushy in line. Three widows with linked arms could face down a Sherman tank. ;-)

Yeah! They gotta bend over a bit more when carving turns:
Don't want to hurt "Brownie" the gerbil!
