Local property broker from Telluride Luxury Rentals, Rosie Cusack, has been a long time gay community member in town. The slopes are filled with fluro onesies and the Madeline roof top pool has become a giant hot tub of sculpted bods. Bang smack (no pun intended) in the middle of the new Telluride Gay Ski Week as I type.
After a decade plus of bringing gay pride and lots of pink dollars to the traditionally liberal remote ski town the week was in trouble after the key sponsors, the Telluride Mountain Village Owners Association surprisingly withdrew their support from the event’s previous owners.Įnter a new entity with new founders, new financial support and a shiny new gay ski week schedule and here we are. It’s fitting that it is in his home town of Telluride (where the 24 year old grew up from the age of two) crafted his skiing prowess, brought his Sochi pups home to and where his adorable mum, Pip, owns the local vintage fashion store.īut there was a moment that the 2016 Telluride Gay Ski Week may not have ever happened. This is Olympic and X Games medalist Gus Kenworthy’s first Gay Ski Week since publicly coming out last October.
