Museum Launches Self-Guided Tour Mobile App

T he Colorado Ski & Snowboard Museum has gone mobile with the recent launch of its first mobile app.  Developed by Museality LLC of La Jolla, California, the new app is designed to provide users with a self-guided audiovisual tour through the museum's eight major exhibits, adding a unique new component to museum's visual experience.

The app utilizes location sensing beacons that are capable of determining a user's position in the museum, guiding them throughout the galleries.  The audio storytelling component, along with over 200 photos, many of them not on display in the museum, offers a unique "dig deeper" immersion into Colorado's rich Snow Sports history and legacy.

The new Colorado Ski & Snowboard Museum mobile app is currently available for download on the Apple App Store.  Users can search for the app by entering CSSM.  During the two-week special introductory period, the app will be available for free.  After this period, it will be priced at $2.99.  
Jeff Gorsuch Named To Museum Board 

T he Colorado Ski & Snowboard Museum and Hall of Fame recently enhanced its overall governing presence with the addition of Aspen-resident Jeff Gorsuch to the nonprofit's board of directors.  

The son of Colorado Ski & Snowboard Hall of Fame members Dave and Renie Gorsuch, Jeff comes from a family of ski racers, growing up in the Vail Valley as a member of Ski & Snowboard Club Vail.  He was a member of the U.S. men's downhill team in 1983-84 and was selected to compete on the Europa Cup.

Now guiding the fortunes of the family business operations, including locations in Aspen and Snowmass, Jeff also serves on the Aspen Valley Ski Club board.
Tracksuit Wedding to Play Apres Ski Benefit March 6

Mark your calendar for Sunday, March 6, and ensure that your après ski plans call for delivering you to the Shakedown Bar in Vail Village as Denver's Tracksuit Wedding will perform a special "Friend-Raising" concert from 4-7 p.m.

With a suggested donation of $10, the show will serve as a benefit for Chris Anthony's Youth Initiative Project and the Colorado Ski & Snowboard Museum's upcoming expansion and transformation.

Tracksuit Wedding is the musical collaboration of Libby Anschutz and Ali Pashel Frankfurt, two grade school friends from Denver.  As adults, they reconnected and discovered their mutual passion for rock and roll music.  
Treat Celebrates 93rd Birthday 

10th Mountain Division veteran Sandy Treat spent Friday afternoon, January 22, just as he spends most Fridays, sharing his stories from Camp Hale and World War II with captivated audiences at the Colorado Ski & Snowboard Museum.

What made this particular Friday special was that Treat also celebrated his 93rd birthday in the process.  In the above photo, museum staff member Ann Writer and Executive Director Susie Tjossem present Sandy with a birthday cake prior to his free presentation.

Treat's free weekly 10th Mountain Division presentations at the museum are scheduled for 3 p.m.  Please check in advance to ensure that Sandy is available.
