Once you see the canyon Telluride is in you will realize why people travel from everywhere to get here. Everything about the place is quaint, except the terrain. Lots of steeps but also a lot of fun trails for the not so advanced. If you want the extreme experience you can find it very easily and the area is very well avy controlled. Lots of hiking... More

I had the most incredible time skiing at Telluride. Between all of the snow that kept replenishing itself after every day, and the challenging terrain I was able to mix it up while shredding the most amazing powder. ... More

Telluride is a gem in Colorado. What essentially is two mountains (cross gondola is sweet) makes for a serious amount of terrain to explore. The town(s) are super cool with one leaning towards resort while the other side has a more cowboy feel.

This is some of the gnarliest terrain in the country, though I wish it would snow a lot more here. We are in a hole where all the snow goes right around. Not too many people skiing the hard stuff either.

Telluride is a fantastic ski resort. The town is great with lots of places to stay and to eat. The skiing is phenomenal, with a large mountain with a wide range of slopes for everyone. Can't say enough good things about it.

Beautiful year round! There is always snow, even when other resorts don't have any.

There is nothing like a ride down the mountain at Telluride. The town is historic, less commercial and the mountain views spectacular.
