Colorado Ski Resorts Rely on Foreign Workers? Where are the Ski Bums?!

Colorado’s ski resorts are world class, bringing in visitors from across the globe.

These tourists support Colorado’s economy and help provide for jobs… including foreign workers!

Colorado Congresswoman Brittany Pettersen was roasted on social media for complaining that ski resorts rely on foreign workers and that without them, these ski resorts would suffer.
