London Tourism Publications Carl Ribaudo, SMG Consulting Jesse True, True Consulting From Ralf Garrison I am pleased to join Bob Brown, The Aspen Times and its sister mountain town publications, to announce a second series of articles in our ongoing collaboration with resort community leaders and stakeholders, who have been working to understand, plan, and navigate through this pandemic economy and now, finally, beginning the road to recovery. It was almost exactly a year ago that the World Health Organization declared a global pandemic, the Centers for Disease Control issued a “quarantine in place” order, and the 2021 winter season came to an abrupt end. Most of us were caught totally off guard by this unprecedented event. Understandably gob smacked, we experienced intense emotions as we struggled to make sense of the ramifications to the very lifestyle to which we all aspire.
