Skiers are explorers at heart. They search, they travel and they discover. Forty-some years ago skiers struck gold in Telluride. An incredible mountain and a funky western town was the treasure that lured them here. They were going further and looking for something better. Today, skiers still flock here to feel that sense of discovery. The views, the nightlife and powder—this frontier is modern and real. The authentic experience of Telluride is still here, just like it was four decades ago. The invite is open. Come experience this modern frontier.

Some people call Telluride a “bucket list” destination. We prefer to call it a “ski mecca.” Some skiers choose to live here while others make an annual pilgrimage. Others are only lucky enough to experience it once. But for the visitors who make the trek, they are rewarded. Sawtooth peaks, immaculate groomers and gourmet powder await. Leaving the pack behind and skiing Telluride is inspiring, meaningful and oh so worth it.

There is a saying here, “we have two towns built in the 90’s— one in the 1890’s and another in the 1990’s.” Telluride is the quintessential mining town that has turned into a bustling ski town. Boutiques and restaurants share space with snowbanks and bike racks. Just up the mountain from Telluride sits Mountain Village—a modern twist on the Telluride ski experience. This base village to the ski area accommodates skier services, new restaurants and modern lodging fit for any traveler.

Cozy cafes, vintage taverns and chefs pushing their limits—this is the Telluride dining scene. Outdoor dining options like Bon Vivant and Alpino Vino thrive on the sunny days common to Telluride. Classic dining options, like Allred’s, come alive in the evening with the glow of the box canyon in the valley below.
