The Telluride Destination Guide is now LIVE!
I hate advertising it too much because I don't want too many people to know, but Telluride is hands down my favorite ski resort. The resort is known for its expert terrain and heli-skiing, but don't think you won't enjoy it here as a beginner or intermediate. The mountain offers the full spectrum of terrain.
While the skiing here is epic, I think the town really pushes this resort to the top of my list. The two base areas - Telluride and Mountain Village - work in concert to offer what I might argue is the ideal ski town. Telluride itself transports you back in time to when this town was filled with gold seekers - Butch Cassidy actually robbed his first bank here. The streets are full of quaint shops and restaurants that let you forget you are at a developed resort. Mountain Village, on the other hand, gives you all the perks of a well-planned, beautiful development, with an elevation change protecting the historic town.
From Telluride's box canyon, you're surrounded in all directions by 14ers and some of the most stunning mountain scenery you'll find. But there's more here than just the slopes -- world-class fly fishing, natural hot springs, ghost towns, Native American History, and 4 impressive National Parks are all within reach of an easy day trip.
Telluride might not be as famous as Aspen or Vail, but honestly that's a good thing. Part of Telluride's appeal is that it is unspoiled by the crowds that flock to other resorts clogging up lift lines and restaurant reservations. From the skiing to the town, summer to winter, everything here is the best of both worlds.
