PRE SKI WEEK
It has become a custom to start off the Telluride Ski Week Saturday, March 30th, at the world famous Lone Cone Saloon in Norwood, Colorado! Although not part of the ski week, many people drive to Telluride, and the Cone is on the way! This year will be extra special, as Mike Ludwig, a Delta pilot that lives in Park City, is bringing his band, Flexible Flyer, to put on an incredible show for us!
The restaurant can handle 50 dinners, and we can say it’s some of the best prime rib and chicken you will ever eat! Especially the prime rib! If you would like to attend, please call Lesli and make a food reservation for your choice of chicken OR prime rib!
It all starts Saturday at 5:30pm, band at 8pm! You will want to stay at one of the local hotels in Norwood, or an Airbnb! Hope to see you there!
Call Lesli to confirm your choice ASAP as it’s limited to 50. $30, includes drink.
