Telluride Ski Resort
Telluride may have only recently grabbed the attention of British skiers and riders, but the combination of a charming old mining town, mind-blowing scenery and some epic terrain make this one Colorado’s must-visit resorts.
Located in the San Juan Mountains of southwest Colorado, Telluride is a little off the beaten track, but it is so worth the extra effort to get here. The pretty former mining town is located in a spectacular valley and is home to numerous cafés, restaurants and bars, but perhaps most importantly, it sits at the foot of a fantastic 2000 acre ski area with one of the biggest vertical drops in Colorado. From the gentle beginner terrain served by the Chondola lift to the gnarly Gold Hill Chutes and gullies off Palmyra Peak, there is something here for everyone.
Tie in a visit here to the other major resort in southern Colorado, Wolf Creek, and if you’re an expert skier or rider, the rad little ski area at Silverton with its one lift but incredible steep terrain, is well worth visiting for a day.
