  A little about this trip: Over 1600 acres of skiable terain served by 17 modern lifts. This restored Victorian mining town is a great place to party. This four-mountain resort boasts great skiing, 82% of it on beginner and intermediate tarils. Grab the kids and celebrate Thanksgiving high in the Rockies. Spend Thanksgiving in the High Country with 40 other Amigos at one of our favorite Colorado resorts. We're staying at Beaver Run - literally ski-in, ski-out.

  A little about this trip: Skiing in Spain? You bet! Site of the Alpine World Championships two years ago, Sierra Nevada promises to be a unique experience. We'll be staying in nearby Granada, with side trips planned to Madrid and even Tangiers. When was the last time a ski trip included a Mediterranean cruise? The Spanish Riviera is just a short drive away from the skiing.
  

  This will be a completely unique ski experience for 42 Amigos. Picture standing at the top of a mountain with 4000" of verticle, and looking across the Mediterranean to Africa on the horizon. Barcelona, Granada, Gibraltar, Madrid, Cordoba, and the Spanish Riviera, with a side trip to Tangiers . . . unique in every way. Shoppers taking a break from the charge card whirl will find a ski mountain with more than 50 miles of runs. Skiers find plenty of sightseeing and shopping to fill the days. Make sure your passport is up-to-date, and sign up early for this one.

• TSC Trip - Winter Shootout - TELLURIDE, Colorado
  Dates: 14-21 Feb 98, Saturday-Saturday
  Ski Days: 6 Ski Days ,
  Lodging: Lulu City Condos,
  Slots Available: 44 spaces
  Cost: Approx ~$700.00, Call 210-494-SNOW, write or email trip leader for price updates
  Trip Leader: Rusty Konitz,
  Assistant Leader:
  

  A little about this trip: Nestled deep in the heart of the San Juan Mountains, Telluride's steeps have made it a legend among serious skiers. But perhaps the best-kept secret in the Rockies is the enormous variety of beginner and intermediate skiing found here. Fully 80% of the mountain is rated for beginners and intermediate skiers. Surrounded by 14,000-foot peaks, the view from the top is truly breathtaking. Butch Cassidy liked the place so well, he made it the site of his first bank robbery. You can ski almost into town and walk to just about any town pub in minutes.

  One of Colorado's best kept secrets until recently, Telluride is one of the most beautiful places you'll ever ski. Thanks to the highly-regarded Telluride Film Festival, the word's getting out that this place is special. The entire town is a National Historic District, and just about everything is within walking distance of the lifts. The Lulu City Condos will be the home for 44 Amigos for the week. The new town-to-top gondola makes getting around a snap. Beginners and intermediates will be overwhelmed by miles of groomed runs, some of them all the way from the top. The hotshots can test their knees n the famous "Plunge" and "Spiral Stairs" and the knee-knockers up in "Apex Glade." The extensive XC network skirts 13,000' peaks that surround the valley. It is trully a special place!

  A little about this trip: The Canadian Rockies are backdrop for one of Canada's premier ski destinations. Over 4,000 acres and a vertical drop of 3,200' to wear out even the hardiest of skiers. And a trail system that offers greens, blues, and blacks from the top of almost every lift. Spectacular scenery and Candaian hospitality await.
