Ron Allred inducted into Colorado Ski/Snowboard Hall of Fame
The Telluride Foundation honors one its founders, Ron Allred, with a party Thursday evening at the historic Sheridan Opera House. The event begins at 5:OOish. Ron's presentation is at 6 p.m. The general public is welcome.
Now what's all the fuss about? In May, the Colorado Ski & Snowboard Hall of Fame announced its 2011 inductees, five in all, one of whom is Ron. Ron joins an elite fraternity of 184 Hall of Fame snow sports visionaries, each of whom has made significant contributions to the Colorado ski industry. For the record, the voting committee consists of 140 Hall of Fame members, museum/Hall of Fane board and advisors, and one executive from each of Colorado's 26 ski areas.
