Boulder Ski Tour is revamped

Change in structure


The Wells Fargo Boulder Mountain Ski Tour Organizing Committee is busy making plans and implementing new changes as it looks forward to the 2003 race, which is scheduled for February 1, 2003.

Committee Chairman Bob Rosso said the WFBMT is making some exciting new changes to lead it into the future—and next year’s 28th annual race.

Organizational duties will shift from being under the Sun Valley/Ketchum Chamber of Commerce’s organizational umbrella, to an independent non-profit organization.

A new race director will be hired to succeed retiring event coordinators Gay Riley and Roberta Heinrich.

Rosso said the new non-profit structure will allow more independent control and will enable the event to receive financial support from individual and business sponsors.

The race was founded by a group of volunteers. The Chamber has been directly involved in putting it on since 1991, bringing it to its current financially healthy position. Chamber director Carol Waller said the Chamber is very supportive of the transition and will continue to provide promotional support to insure its continued success.

Current WFBMT committee members include Bob Rosso/Elephant’s Perch; Andy Munter/Backwoods Mountain Sports; Rick Kapala/SV Ski Education Foundation Nordic program director; Gay Riley and Roberta Heinrich; John Wells/SVK Chamber Board; Carol Waller/SVK Chamber; John Seiller/attorney; Mike Wolter/Janss Center; and Muffy Ritz.

The WFBMT committee is currently actively searching for a qualified race director(s) to organize all aspects of the race for 2003 and beyond.

"It is a big task, and Gay and Roberta did an excellent job for us over the last four years. We look forward to finding another enthusiastic and skilled person to step into this important role", said Rosso.

Any interested parties should submit letter of interest and resume to WFBMT, Box 173, Sun Valley, ID, 83353.
