Leadville couple keeps it in the family with Tennessee Pass Nordic sale 

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? 

“It was really important for everybody in the group to try to continue and retain the same sort of feeling and community-backed business,” Ty Hall tells the Post. “Roxanne and I are super excited, because we feel very supported. This group shares our vision and the love for the business and the love for the community, so they are able to keep that going.” 

He says this group is dedicated to everything that makes Tennessee Pass special, like overnight yurts and events, while keeping it small, cozy and in the extended family.
