- Pam Pettee
- "Pettee’s diverse career in the ski industry started by joining Vail Associates in 1973, while also serving the state’s ski industry as chair of the Colorado Ski Country USA Public Information Committee and a member of the public affairs committee. In addition, she was an associate member of the Rocky Mountain Ski Writers, a member of Colorado Press Women, was on the Women’s Forum of Colorado and the board of the Colorado Ski Museum. At Vail, she worked with President Gerald Ford, handling the national media and White House press corps during his ski vacations. Pettee left Vail in 1977 to become director of public affairs for Colorado Ski Country, USA, while becoming a registered lobbyist for Colorado skiing at the state capitol. She formed her own ski consulting business in 1979, but returned to Colorado Ski Country, USA, as acting director, when the director took a leave of absence from the job. In demand as a public relations consultant, she established her own firm, with clients including United Airlines, Ski Industries of America, National Ski Areas Association, Vail, Steamboat Springs, Ski the Rockies and many others. As a freelance writer, Pettee was prolific in promoting Colorado skiing. So where did the love affair with skiing begin? Post-college at Penn State, Pettee did what a lot of recent grads did — and still do — and went to Europe. Her best friends were ski instructors, and her time in Europe included working at two Norwegian ski hotels. She honed her skills on the slopes in Austria and Switzerland. Skiing, she said, made her feel beautiful and was “a lot of fun.” But it was the people involved in the sport that also fueled the fire. “I made an incredible range of friends and acquaintances over the years,” she said. “It was a lot of work but fun, too, as I evolved from ski instructor to ski school co-director, to advertising and publicity and then to Vail.” While the sport evolved technologically over the years, what skiing means to Pettee can be summed up in the words of her mentor, Bob Parker of Vail Associates. “To paraphrase him … ‘skiing means fun, excitement, good-looking, compatible people, apres ski, fine food and the gemutlich spirit of a ski community,’” she said. “‘What we must never forget beside the feeling of physical exhilaration is the feeling of being among a special kind of people.’ To that, I add, skiing’s glorious setting. Pettee first came to Telluride in 1982 to work as the marketing director for the fledgling Telluride ski resort. She also served on Telluride Town Council, being first elected in 1984. (She was then known as Pam Conklin, but has since officially taken her birth name, Pettee.) As fourth-highest vote getter, I served one year, completing John Micetic's term when he was elected mayor for a two-year term,” she said. “I ran again the following year and was re-elected. Council elected me mayor pro tem.” Some of the more pressing issues of those days included “town-gown” growing pains with the expansion of the resort and the birth of Mountain Village, and the creation of the Telluride Chamber Resort Association (now Marketing Telluride). “Summer with its festivals was much busier than winter, as Telluride was perceived as an expert-only, too-hard-to-get-to area,” Pettee said. “Relations between town and ski company are much, much better now.” She has moved in and out of town several times since leaving in 1987, but since returning in 2014, she’s back for good. “It’s home now,” she said." --Taken 11/17/20 from the Telluride Daily Planet's article, titled Pam Pettee, Hall of Famer, by Suzanne Cheavens, Associate Editor Apr 16, 2020: https://www.telluridenews.com/news/article_926adc62-8034-11ea-9b40-a7e103147f70.html
