Board of Directors

Erik Dalton, Interim Board President

 

Erik is a former TSSC athlete, coach, and past board President. Erik’s comprehensive, multi-level understanding of the club is invaluable; he and his family were the driving force behind acquiring our lower HQ training facility, locker room, and office space. Erik also generously hosts and facilitates annual gear-shopping events benefiting the club at his regional retail stores, Jagged Edge and Montrose Surf & Cycle.

Bernard Hatcher, Secretary/Treasurer

 

Bernard contributes a decade of hands-on club volunteer and event experience. Bernard is a dedicated TSSC parent who had an athlete grow up in the club, with two others before that, bringing long-standing commitment and a deeply rooted parent perspective to the roster

Lauren Woodward

 

Lauren Woodward was born and raised in Telluride, Colorado, where she grew up skiing and competing through the Telluride Ski and Snowboard Club (TSSC). A lifelong local with deep roots in the community, Lauren has built a career as a business owner and remains actively involved in Telluride’s civic and philanthropic life — from local arts organizations to youth sports and community initiatives.
