Telluride and Ouray Skiing/ Climbing Partner and Beta?

So I'm going to the Ouray Ice Festival and be in Telluride with my mom this January. This will be my first time ice climbing, and I've signed up for Saturday and Sunday clinics (no personal ice gear).

But I'll on my own for 15th-20th since she'll be at the Chicks with Picks clinic. sooo...

Skiing
I plan on doing some skiing at Telluride during that time, since my mom's friend has a place there in the valley. Would like to get on some moderate back/ sidecountry if I can find a partner.

Climbing
Will probably rent some ice gear from San Juan Mountain Guides and do more ice. No idea where I'll be skills wise on ice, but I onsite lead almost all 5.9's and some 5.10's in Yosemite. Would love to link up with some people to climb with then. Super open to learning.

Any beta to offer?

Hey Norcal, I (Andrew w San Juan Mtn Guides) would be happy to give you beta on skiing or climbing, just give us a call with questions. There is definitely some decent solo skiing opportunities to be had around the red mountain pass area and some around lizard head as well...

Yo there,
I can play with you, probably, or be a friend inTelluride at least. PM me when the time is near
