   Roger is in his second year as the club President for Tampa Bay Snow Skiers and Boarders.  Roger is a former skier turned “slimy” snow boarder, but he says some of his best friends are still skiers.  He has been a member of TBSSB for 6 years and has led 6 trips.  He’s a very experienced and organized leader and all-round fun guy.  His trips have consistently been rated very high.  People always have fun on his trips.  Roger will be traveling out with those adventurous souls who join us for the Silverton portion of the trip.


Assistant Trip Leader

   Mike is in his third year with the club.  On his first TBSSB ski trip (2009) he had so much fun that he swears he will never take another without the club, plus he became an Assistant Leader the very next year.  The travelers rated the trip he co-led to Crested Butte the best of the season with 100% saying they got their money’s worth.  Mike has been an avid skier for many years but says some of his best friends are snow boarders.  He will be traveling out with those travelers who select the Telluride-only option.

Roger and Mike have both traveled extensively throughout the ski environments of Colorado and elsewhere.  They truly enjoy leading trips, making new friends, and having fun with old friends and new.  They have the experience and the desire to make your trip a fun-filled yet easy-going experience.

TELLURIDE

     

Surrounded by the majestic peaks of the San Juan Mountains in Southwestern Colorado, Telluride is arguably the most scenic ski resort in the world. The terrain is easily one of the best. What separates it from other big name ski areas is that Telluride is a destination-only resort. Its location places it out of reach for day visitors. The result is no waiting in lift lines and a greater sense of solitude.  The mountain offers something for every ability level, including gentle beginner terrain and wide open, groomed intermediate runs. For experts, there's even more variety: bumps, tree skiing, powder, expert-only hike-to spots, freestyle terrain parks and steeps that will make even the most accomplished expert double-check their confidence.

Telluride Ski Resort is a world-class ski resort that has expanded over 300 acres in the last few years, offering some of the most stunning skiing and riding on the planet.  Telluride’s free gondola is the main source of transportation - no traffic or long lift lines, and no driving once you’ve arrived.  Experience unrivaled scenery and terrain, and world-class lodging, shopping and spas… and discover why Telluride is unmatched in North America.  

With over 2000 acres of skiable terrain, Telluride Ski Resort offers a genuine mountain experience for all levels of skiers and boarders thanks to a mix of quality terrain at all points on the mountain.  From refined groomed runs to challenging moguls, there truly is something for everyone.  Even beginners and intermediate skiers can ride to the highest peaks and enjoy terrain and views typically reserved for the experts.  For the third consecutive year and the fourth year in the past five seasons, Telluride Ski Resort was …

SILVERTON      

At Silverton Mountain ski area in Colorado it’s all thrills, no frills, and plenty of spills (as the logo suggests)!  Silverton is for advanced and expert riders only, and it’s really suited to those with an adventurous spirit.  There are no crowds, a relaxed vibe, and plenty of awesome powder and terrain.  The terrain includes open alpine bowls, chutes, drop-offs, and lots of steep tree skiing. The challenging slopes are not manicured, so if you lose your nerve there are no groomed runs on which to bail out.  The snow falls in abundance at Silverton with an average of 400 inches per season. And as is typical of Colorado, the powder is light and dry. Better still, there are low numbers of visitors each day, so the likelihood of skiing fresh powder is pretty high.

Silverton Mountain is pretty close to the most pure skiing experience one can find today, an epic mountain, bountiful snowfall (the deep and light Colorado kind!), and none of the distractions of other ski areas (crowds!).

Silverton - The Teller House Hotel

·         Hotel room with 2 beds

In 1896, the Silverton brewery owner built The Teller House to provide guest rooms for Silverton’s turn of the century visitors.  In 1997, the Teller House assumed new ownership and since then the hotel was fully restored to its original Victorian charm.  The guest rooms retained their original woodwork and high ceilings, and are currently furnished with 19th century antiques and period décor.  The Teller House combines the tasteful Victorian aesthetics of the late 1800’s with the modern amenities of today, including: 

  • Spacious rooms with mountain views

  • Complimentary wireless internet

  • Full-service restaurant on premises
