About the Resort:

Skiing the slopes of the Telluride Ski Resort is just about the same as skiing the naked, raw slopes of a natural mountain. There is a historic charm here that is accompanied by the natural beauty and world class skiing that is available. The peaks stand tall at 14 thousand feet. The mountain, pure white from frequent powdering, offers courses of all difficulty levels for riders of all experience levels. The town of Telluride is untouched from it's nineteenth century days, nestled in a box canyon. The other side of the mountain shows the ski village Mountain. The Mountain Village is inspired by European sources and is home to numerous exciting activities worth experiencing, including upscale shopping, food and lodges as well.

The large expanse of the mountain covers more than 1,700 acres worth of beautiful Colorado countryside.

No matter what skill level you possess, there are certainly plenty of different trails to take advantage of so that you never become bored. The large number of ski trails requires a wide selection of different ski lifts for operations, and the Telluride Ski Resort has the capacity to handle upwards of 21,200 people at a time.
