Canada's Intrawest Corp., which develops and manages destination resorts, laid off more corporate employees this week, with most of the cuts coming at its Vancouver headquarters and a few jobs being eliminated at its regional office in Golden.

Intrawest spokesman Ian Galbraith confirmed the additional layoffs Tuesday but declined to say how many jobs were cut.

Blaming a tough economic environment, the company in November announced a separate work force reduction that affected employees at some of the Colorado ski areas it operates - Steamboat, Copper Mountain and Winter Park.

The downsizing at Intrawest coincides with a challenging season for ski resorts, many of which have taken hits in pass sales and advanced bookings.

Vail Resorts Inc. announced in December it was cutting 50 workers. The company owns Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge and Keystone.
