Wow... what a week it's been in Telluride. My legs are still sore. Our much needed 2 foot dump came this past week... showering the people with powder. Sunday were some of the best turns in a while. 1st tracks down Stairs with waist-deep powder is a life changing experience. You should try it out. This weekend we have some great live music (go figure) in town. Get ready for a great February coming up: Comedy Fest, Chocolate Lover's, Gay Ski Week and hopefully a plethora of more days like last Sunday. Here's your Top 5 to do this weekend in T-ride:
Friday, January 27th – Ladysmith Black Mambazo – The Palm Theatre is proud to present the
Grammy Award winning South African a capella singing group, Ladysmith Black
Mambazo. They rose to worldwide prominence as a result of singing with Paul
Simon on his 1986 album, Graceland, and have won multiple awards, including three
Grammy’s. They were formed back in the 60’s and have become one of South Africa’s
most prolific recording artists. We’re honored to have them in town! Show

Friday, January 27th – San Juan Field School Fundraiser – The Sheridan Opera House will
host an event to support the San Juan Field School, a branch of the San Juan
Outdoor School – a field school responsible for all of the avalanche education
and training that happens in the Telluride area. These guys and girls teach
life saving techniques at their Level I and Level II Avalanche courses… and
they need your help to raise money and keep the education going. If you ever
think about stepping foot in Bear Creek or any other backcountry terrain… you
need the skills and knowledge the San Juan Field School provides. Fundraiser,
movie, raffle, gear and more! Tickets are $10, sold at the door,
7:00pm-10:00pm. For more information, visit: www.sanjuanfieldschool.com
Friday, January 27th – Oakhurst – Denver, CO based “Rocky Mountain Guerilla Grass” band,
Oakhurst, will rock out The Llama this Friday night. Take a string band and
swap out the fiddle player for a groovy drummer and you’re well on your way to
understanding their sound. A mixture of Bluegrass and Rock n’ Roll… these guys
have shared stages with Leftover Salmon, Yonder Mountain String Band, Emmitt-Nershi
Band and many more of our “Telluride regulars”. Grab a tasty Telluride Brewing Company
beer at the bar and party down to this danceable concoction. Doors open at
9:00pm and tickets are $10 in advance. For more information, check out their

favorite 80’s, 90’s and current hit songs. Last year, we were graced by the presence
of Lady Gaga, Susan Boyle and many more ridiculous performances & outfits. 8:00pm
