Terrain separation keeps lower skill level skiers away from interaction with higher level skiers - cuts down on the irritation factor for both types.
Superb!5 / 5Apr 24, 2006

Telluride is a beautiful and still relatively unknow resort, incomparison to other Colorado ski areas. There is a varried terrain and some wonderful cruising as well as extreme areas. A little had to get to but well worth the trip.
