THE BEST SPRING SKIING YOU WILL FIND

March 24, 2012

Hi Folks,

Spring skiing is awesome, and now is the time for warm and beautiful mountain experiences at Telluride. Southwest Colorado has received more snow than most resorts in Colorado this winter, and we’re offering an incredible experience this spring as a result. Below is a hiker heading up the shoulder of Palmyra Peak with Wilson in the background:

Telluride is full of unique expereinces, like the stairs to Gold Hill Chute #9:

Telluride offers benefits in the spring such as this:

Spring wouldn’t be complete without decks, beers, wine, and great culinary experiences. Telluride is quickly becoming known as the “best” when it comes to More >

February 4, 2012

Hi Folks!

I’ve been delinquent in posting blogs lately – sorry about that – it’s been a busy time for me but I really enjoy blogging and intend to step it up again. Thanks for all the input to post more frequently!

We’ve been getting lots of snow at Telluride and the mountain is skiing perfectly! My wife Noreen and I hiked up Black Iron Bowl a few days ago and really enjoyed the conditions in Mountain Quail. See picture below:

Summer Events, Festivals, and Recreation in Telluride

May 2, 2011

Hi Folks,

Summer in Telluride is an unmatched experience – and a fantastic “get away”.

Why sit on a beach and gain weight when you can experience the recreation, history, education, and beauty of one of the most beautiful mountain environs in the Rockies – right here in Telluride?

I can’t think of a better place to spend some time in the mountains. For decades, the development of fantastic festivals has defined Telluride during the beautiful green and gold months. The golf, hiking, biking, rafting, fishing, jeeping, spas, restaurants, shops, music, alfresco dining, and views are awesome!

Thanks for a great ski season!

April 4, 2011

Well, it’s time to hang the skis up and pull out the bikes and golf clubs again.

I’d like to sincerely thank the entire staff at Telluride Ski and Golf – you’re the best. A thousand employees in 33 different departments all pulling together to create exceptional experiences for our guests. Great job everyone!

I’d like to also thank all the folks who visited Telluride this winter to enjoy all we have to offer, and of course a big thank you goes out to all the locals too.

The golf course is opening May 27.

Have a great summer in Telluride and More >

TELLURIDE’s EXPERT HIKE-TO “ADVENTURE TERRAIN”

February 14, 2011

Hi Folks,

One of the differentiating factors about Telluride is the double black diamond expert hike-to terrain we offer.

Skiers and snowboarders can get a true backcountry experience with the benefit of ski patrol avalanche mitigation and oversight. There really isn’t another ski area in North America that offers “adventure terrain” at this scale within its boundaries.

Below is a picture of my wife and daughter hiking up to the top of Palmyra Peak, just shy of 13,300 feet:

There are definitely “top of the world” views from the summit of Palmyra Peak. Unlike some of the other hike-to terrain routes at Telluride, Palmyra Peak is More >
