Listen... if you are lucky enough to find yourself in Telluride... you’re lucky enough. It has got to be the most beautiful, most picturesque ski resort and town in America. And the Telluride is authentic...McDonalds?, Starbucks?, Walmart? - no thank you. It does have a great free ski-wear grab box though! The town is devine, quaint, perfect. ... More

The absolute best views in Colorado are found at Telluride! Tons of expert terrain that will scare even the most advanced skier (if its open). Telluride is very cool in the fact that non-skiers can take the gondola from town to the resort for free.... More

I learned to ski on the east coast. I grew my passion for skiing in the rockies, and specifically Telluride. Rising above a quirky and historic old mining town, Telluride resort has something for everyone. From gentle beginner slopes to long, picturesque intermediate run, to expert terrain through the glades, bumps, and trees, T-Ride boasts great... More
