TELLURIDE – Hollie Hannahs has been named director of lodging for Telluride Ski Resort and will oversee the resort’s property management arm, Telluride Resort Lodging, including the luxury Platinum Properties sector.

“Hollie’s longtime industry experience and knowledge of the market will be an invaluable addition as TRL continues to grow and establish itself as one of the premier property management companies in the region,” said Matt Skinner, executive director of sales and marketing for the resort.

Hannahs has been a vital player in the resort lodging industry with ResortQuest for almost ten years. Beginning her career in Breckenridge at the Great Divide Lodge in 1996 as front desk manager, Hannahs eventually moved to Crested Butte, then to ResortQuest here in Telluride where she worked as tour and travel sales manager from 2000-2005. She moved back to Breckenridge to take the reservations sales manager position, and then returned to Telluride as general manager for ResortQuest.

“I am excited to join the great team at the Telluride Ski Resort,” said Hannahs. “I look forward to effectively managing Telluride Resort Lodging, creating a smooth transition for our current owners as well as adding additional properties to our portfolio.”

Hannahs currently lives in Telluride with her husband Tom. She participates in the Telluride Association of Realtors highway clean up projects, and enjoys skiing in the winter and hiking in the summer. Her tenure at the ski resort begins Thursday, April 16, and she can be reached at hhannahs@tellurideskiresort.com or 970/728-7457.
