Aspen Skiing Co. has launched an Australia Wildfire Relief Fund and will collect donations through Jan. 26, which is Australia Day, and match up to the first $12,500.<\/p>\n

Auden Schendler, Skico senior vice president of sustainability and community engagement, made his colleagues aware of the effort in an email Tuesday afternoon.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs you are aware, our friends in Australia are being hammered by wildfire, similar to what we experienced two years ago, but on a vast scale, and with much more destruction and human loss,\u201d Schendler wrote. \u201cAnd we have many guests in town who are traumatized by what is happening in their home country. So, thanks to quick work by many people here, we\u2019ve set up a relief fund to help people survive, then recover.\u201d<\/p>\n

Skico vetted ways to help and was advised by numerous \u201con-the-ground references\u201d to contribute to the Australian Red Cross. All funds collected through http:\/\/www.aspensnowmass.com<\/a> will go directly to the organization.<\/p>\n

\u201cAspen Skiing Company\u2019s family fund will match the first $12,500 in contributions, but we expect the fund to grow far beyond that,\u201d Schendler wrote.<\/p>\n

Although the fundraiser will end Jan. 26, continued support will be offered, he added.<\/p>\n

\u201c(We) won\u2019t forget our friends and colleagues as we continue to work hard to ensure a stable climate and a world where heat and fire doesn\u2019t hamper our ability to thrive,\u201d Schendler said.<\/p>\n
