Telluride

Unlike any ski resort anywhere else in North America, the Victorian town of Telluride is nestled in a box canyon surrounded by the 13,000-foot peaks of the San Juan Mountains. The breath-taking vistas are almost indescribable.

Telluride is a historic mining town rich in cultural heritage and surrounded by the incomparable beauty of the San Juan Mountain Range. Add a genuine first class ski experience and you have a true slice of heaven where the unassuming and friendly spirit of this town makes you forget the busy world you left behind. A long time favorite destination for celebrities who want to escape the world, Telluride has luxurious accommodations and five-star restaurants and some of the finest spas in the world right along side colorful local watering holes, adorable B&B's and quaint little shops. You never wait in a lift line or fight traffic. The locals are friendly, laid back and so friendly.

And the skiing isn't too bad either...with diverse terrain offering great skiing for beginners, intermediate and expert skiers and 1,700 acres of skiing and riding, 16 lifts, 2 high-speed gondolas, over 300 inches of snow falling each year, the skiing and riding are unmatched.
