THERE’S SNOW PLACE LIKE THE ROCKIES
Snow sports in the Rocky Mountains
By Sean Davies
Winter weather may spell gloomy moods to some, but on the sprawling slopes of the Rocky Mountains, snowsports athletes couldn’t be happier. In Colorado’s Telluride or nestled in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, newly fallen snow means fresh powder and a day of adventure and excitement, barreling down a pristine mountain face towards cozy enclosures offering hot drinks and a place to rest by the fire. TELLURIDE Folks flock to Telluride for its accessibility. The variety of terrain found in Telluride allows parties of all skill levels to have the experience of traversing a mountainside. Beginners won’t feel cheated as they have green runs like the Galloping Goose, winding all the way down Bald Mountain, crisscrossing other avenues to give exciting options for multiple runs.
