“An authentic big mountain experience that emotionally connects with your soul.�
Ski Telluride Telluride offers a genuine mountain experience for all levels of skiers. Nearly 60% of our terrain is dedicated to beginner and intermediate skiers and snowboarders. With at least one intermediate run off of every lift on the mountain, even beginner and intermediate skiers can ride to the highest peaks and enjoy terrain and views typically reserved for the experts. From reďŹ ned groomed runs to challenging moguls and hike-to terrain, there is something for everyone. The Telluride Ski & Snowboard School can arrange group and private lessons, guided mountain tours, special interest clinics and races. We can also provide a representative at your ďŹ rst night welcome event to talk about the mountain and answer any questions your group may have.

“It is a place that reminds you of how big the world is and how small a part of that world you really are.�
Telluride Golf Club The most beautiful place you’ll ever play, Telluride Golf Club features an 18-hole, par-70, 6,574-yard course tucked within the highest concentration of 13,000 and 14,000 foot peaks in the U.S. The natural beauty and splendor of the surrounding mountains and wildflowers will take your breath away as you tee off at 9,417 feet, an altitude that puts Telluride Golf Club amongst the highest golf courses in the world. The altitude works to your advantage as Telluride’s air creates less resistance against the golf ball during flight, translating to longer drives. Set on Turkey Creek Mesa, the course was designed to take advantage of rugged terrain formed by Telluride’s glacial retreat thousands of years ago. When building the course, architects took care to protect the delicate grasslands and forest that are home to elk, bear, lynx and other animals. • Opened for play in 1992, the Telluride Golf Club course offers four sets of tees, with distances ranging from 4,700 yards (red tees) to 6,574 yards (gold tees). • The 18-hole layout offers picturesque views from the opening hole to the final green. Three mountainous landmarks encircle the club–the Sneffels Range, the San Sophia Range and Mount Wilson–while fir and aspen forests are prevalent throughout. • At 9,417 feet, the opening hole features one of the nation’s most elevated tee areas, while No. 17 features a 92-step climb from the cart path to the tee box, revealing sweeping panoramic views of the towering San Miguel mountain range. • An ancient barn straddles the 10th hole and once belonged to the property’s original rancher. During the resort’s infancy, it served as the Nordic Center. • New golf carts, equipped with state-of-the-art Global Positioning System (GPS), assist golfers with course navigation. • The Telluride golf season typically opens in May and lasts through the first week of October.
