Ski towns feel downturn

---

TELLURIDE, Colo. (MTN)-- From Telluride to Whistler, it seems to have been a tolerably good Christmas in ski towns.

"Sales were down, but they were not catastrophic like we were expecting," said Jackie Schuiling, co-owner of SlopeStyle, a store in Telluride.

"We did OK, but we could have done better," said Peter Hazard, manager of Paragon Ski and Sports.
