What People Are Saying About Telluride Ski Resort

The Scene – There's a strange dichotomy at Telluride: The resort needs tourists in order to survive, yet the locals are overly protective, not wanting much exposure. Still, if you want to know what resorts were like before strip malls and six-lane highways, this old-time Western town is for you. – – The Slopes – Telluride is a skier's mountain--no matter what skill level. Beginners have their own section of long, gentle trails off the Sunshine Express high-speed quad. Intermediates enjoy long, rolling runs such as See Forever, an aptly named cruising trail. Thanks to…

Nice place, but has its downside
by mcoreo
Very beautiful and very importantly not overly crowded or full of the snooty, name brand skiiers like in other places. Lift lines were fast and views are beautiful. The gondola takes you were you need to go. The only things I would warn is 1) this place is dog friendly but the owners are very lax at picking up after them. It was ridiculous how nasty it was with dog stuff everywhere, even near the ski lifts. That is the one thing that would make me not want to come back. 2) this is not a place for beginners. Even the slopes designated for beginners and advanced beginners are steep and have drop offs on the side. Telluride is for people that are good skiiers and have no fear. Best restaurants we went to are La marmotte and La Piazza and Skiers Union is good for burgers.
- Pros: Gondola, no lines, very pretty
- Cons: Dog poo everywhere

Awesome

I've skied Telluride for the last 7yrs, the terrain is great, the groomed trails for lesser-experienced skiers are great and the expert runs will blow you away. Town side slopes will burn your legs, 3000' of bumps - yeehhaa!
Town is easy to get around, lots of places to eat, "BAKED IN TELLURIDE" breakfast croissants a must.
- Pros: no lines...ever, snow conditions, fast lifts, long runs
- Cons: , hard to get to

Telluride is a wonderful place!

My friends and I discovered Telluride a few years ago on summer vacation. It's a beautiful place with nice people, great food and many dog friendly places. Dogs are allowed nearly everywhere here. It's refreshing. If you like chain restaurants and the normal ho hum vacation, please don't visit Telluride. Leave to the people who truly appreciate nature, enjoy peaceful mornings and evenings and who are active. If you are even considering going to Telluride, GO. You'll have fun:-)
