Telluride Ski Resort

565 Mountain Village Blvd · Telluride, CO

Why you should go…

Telluride Ski Resort spans more than 2,000 skiable acres between the historic town of Telluride and Mountain Village in the San Juan Mountains. Winter brings skiing, snowboarding, terrain parks and hike-to terrain such as Black Iron Bowl and Palmyra Peak, and about 41 percent of runs are rated advanced or expert. In summer the mountain turns to bike park riding, zipline tours, guided hikes and golf. The resort opened in 1972, and its pedestrian gondola is free to ride.

Good to know

General sport & outdoor guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • Weather calls the shots

    Check the forecast the morning of and keep an indoor backup in your pocket for the day it turns.

  • Shoes, water, sun cover

    The three things that decide whether you last the whole outing or cut it short after an hour.

  • Parking and launches fill early

    On a nice weekend, lots and trailheads are often full by mid-morning.

  • Daylight shrinks in shoulder season

    Spring and fall visits need an earlier start than the same trip in July.
