Anxious about February trip … any insight is appreciated

My family and I have been skiing/snowboarding the east coast our whole lives and finally decided to take a trip out west this year. We have been anxiety ridden since the strike (not to mention the lack of snow) and almost cancelled our trip for February 14-21 when Chuck started hiring new “patrol”.

I have no experience with western mountains and have only heard plans to open a few lifts. We are specifically concerned about Lift 7, because we are staying in the town of Telluride instead of Mountain Village.

Obviously no one can tell the future .. but would love some insight from folks local to Telluride (or people who have been keeping close tabs on the mountain) What’s your outlook for this reopening over the next month?

Thanks in advance
