One of my best friends from Phoenix came up to visit me last week. She came up with Alpine Ski Club; they gave her a smoking deal on her trip due to the fact that she stayed with me.

Telluride Aids Benefits (TAB) mission is to help generate financial support for those who are fighting HIV/AIDS and enable them to receive the proper care and programs. TAB is more than just a fashion show; it’s a series of week long events such as awareness discussions, parties, auctions, etc.

I just booked my first reservation the used “Mountain Bucks”. I never realized how great of a deal it is! After a guest departs they have the ability to receive a coupon in which is worth 10% of their recent stay, simply by filling out a guest review (flipkey.com). What a great way to reward loyal customers for giving their feedback!  

I’ve been in Telluride for about a month and a half now and am starting to get the hang of things. A few weeks ago I started answering the phones, the first day was really nerve racking, but it has gotten a lot better with time. Surprisingly I have gotten a lot of opportunities to view the majority of properties both at work and on my own personal time.

A couple of weeks ago a group of friends took me out to do some runs in prospect bowl. It’s a great run, but if you don’t maintain speed it’s quite easy to get stuck, which normally results in the infamous boarder bobble hobble. Needless to say, I ended up doing the BBH several times, which became quite frustrating. Instead of letting it defeat me, I decided my goal of the next day was going to be making it from top to bottom without getting stuck.

The question of the night was…“what is there to do in Telluride on a Tuesday night”? After debating for a couple of hours, the group finally decided to make the venture up to Mountain Village. Our finally destination would be Palmyra at the Peaks.  

Although I’m quite musically diversified, Bluegrass is a genre in which I have little knowledge about. After doing some research about Telluride prior to moving out here, I discovered that this town is really BIG on Bluegrass. When I found out that Greensky Bluegrass was playing at the Sheridan Opera House I had to check it out and see what they hype was all about.

On Tuesday, January 12, the legendary reggae group the Wailers played at the Telluride Conference Center.

My third night in Telluride I hit the town for a girls night. Our first mission of the night was to grab dinner and wine. The place of choice was Floradora Saloon, which has a very western feel. Upon my arrival I was greeted by all of the girls including a familiar face from back home in Arizona! After having great service and an amazing meal, the group came to the conclusion that they night must go on!

Before unpacking my belongings I was ready to see what Telluride had to offer. We first drove up to Mountain Village to have a wonderful spaghetti dinner. After letting our food settle, we headed out to the Gondola station to meet up with some people for a night of fun.
