Telluride Ski Resort
One of North America's top ski resorts, with runs dropping from the town into the canyon. Over 2,000 acres of terrain offers high alpine steeps and wide intermediate runs, with far fewer crowds.
Telluride Ski Resort opened in 1972 and covers about 2,000 acres. Its highest point, near Revelation Bowl, sits at roughly 3,800 meters, with a vertical drop of more than 1,300 meters. It offers long intermediate runs such as See Forever, with distant views of the Utah mountains. It also has demanding steep terrain such as Gold Hill and Palmyra Peak, which require a hike to access. From one side of the resort, you can ski straight back into town. The other side connects to a mountain village. Winter crowds are far lighter than at the major resorts on Colorado's Front Range. A single-day lift ticket often costs more than US$200 (check the official site for current-season prices), so buying online in advance is recommended. Outside ski season, some lifts run in summer for hiking and mountain biking.
