elcome to Telluride and Mountain Village, and the 50th year of Telluride Ski Resort! And, thank you for picking up the winter 2022-23 issue of the Official Guide to Telluride and Mountain Village. We at the Telluride Tourism Board wish you a special time in this special place, in this special year. In looking back at the storied history of the resort, and throughout the winter issue, we used a team of local writers, including some born and raised here, to give you the insight and information you need to make your visit to Telluride and Mountain Village an unforgettable one. Through their eyes, we invite you to celebrate the area’s wealth of fun and unforgettable outdoor activities, the vibrant local dining and arts scenes, our wonderful business and nonprofit sectors and much more. Celebrating the golden anniversary of the ski resort, we recognize the people whose vision and hard work over the past five decades have made the resort what it is today. Telluride ranks among the top winter destinations on the planet, but has long prided itself on being friendly, familiar and welcoming. Above it all, the stunning natural environment is what defines Telluride and Mountain Village, and has drawn so many of us here whether for a short time or forever. Mother Nature’s role in both the community’s and the ski resort’s history has been a central one, and a reminder of the importance of celebrating our beautiful and unique surroundings by treating them kindly and intelligently now and in the future. Telluride’s authenticity runs through both the local population and those who find their way here, with abiding traditions and meaningful connections all underpinned by a love of these mountains. We look forward to working together to ensure this special place stays special for generations to come. This winter, we have so much to celebrate, and we are looking forward to doing it together. Please enjoy the winter Guide, and do not hesitate to reach out to our team here at the Tourism Board for any additional information you may need for your visit.
