Tennessee Pass Nordic Center at Ski Cooper outside of Leadville has new(ish) owners. The Denver Post reports the founders, Ty and Roxanne Hall, recently formed a partnership group with five other local couples. This partnership purchased the Nordic center late last year. After three decades of growing their center – purchased in 1993 for $5,000 – the Halls initially meant to retire but found it hard to let go. What better way to remain involved AND enjoy a taste of retirement, than to run the operation with their friends?
