Texas Ski Council
TSC Fall Round Up
BRECKENRIDGE, COLORADO
November 22-27, 2011
VP –
Andrea Yowman
We’re Going To Breckenridge…
Again!!!
Authentic, Unpretentious Breckenridge, Colorado |
 Join
the Texas Ski Council as we embark on Breckenridge, CO during
the week of Thanksgiving. What better place to be with family
and friends. Breckenridge was established as a base camp in
1859, after gold was discovered along the Blue River. It
quickly became a bustling town filled with fearless
prospectors, hardworking miners, and plenty of
rough-and-tumble saloons.
|
While the frenzy of the Gold Rush era has long passed,
skiers and snowboarders rave about this massive,
four-mountain resort that practically bumps into the town.
Breckenridge stretches across more than 2,300 acres of
terrain, filled with wide groomers, glistening tree-lined
glades, dramatic chutes, and powder-filled bowls. Skiers
and riders of all abilities are sure to find something to
their liking in this expansive resort. Beginner and
intermediate runs are groomed each night making for ideal
skiing each and every day. |

This will be the seventh year for the TSC to offer, in
conjunction with the TSC Youth Foundation, its Fall
Roundup. The Foundation encourages children to participate
in the fun sports of skiing and snowboarding. Breckenridge
will be offering children ages 4 – 13 a fantastic deal on
its Youth Camp, which includes lifts, lessons, rentals
(including helmet) and lunch. In addition, there will be
activities planned throughout the week to keep the kids
entertained. Blue River Hall in Beaver Run is a kid's
“dream come true” with all of its video games, air hockey
and even a 9-hole miniature golf course. |

for this to be a fantastic Thanksgiving week.

YOUTH CAMP
For skiers ages 4-13 and snowboarders ages 7-13, there
will be a youth camp. For an enormously reduced price,
your child (or grandchild) will receive 4 full day
lessons, lunches, rentals (including helmet) and lift
ticket. If you do not want your children in the camp
all 4 days, you may purchase daily camps, but note
that your child must participate in at least 3 days of
the youth camp in order to be eligible for any travel
reimbursement from the Youth Foundation. Also note
that in order to get this pricing you MUST pre-order
and prepay for the youth camp. This pricing will not
be available at the mountain either for purchase or
for any "add-on" of days. |
