Yesterday, March 31, The Melodians played at the Sheridan Opera House. This was one of the last major shows the Opera House had before the off season and boy oh boy it a great way to go out!

Saint Patrick’s Day had to be the funnest (yeah…. I know it’s not a word) day that I have ever had on the mountain! I started off the day heading out with a couple of friends just thinking it was going to be a normal day of riding. Much to my surprise by noon our group had multiplied and we were now mobbing down the mountain with a group of over a dozen. It was a prefect spring day; by far the warmest weather I have experienced on the mountain.

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.

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.
