SLIP-SLIDING AWAY

Firecracker Hill, at the southern edge of Telluride Town Park, offers sledding to suit any adrenaline level. Rent sleds at the Nordic Center or purchase one from Timberline Ace Hardware. ICE FOLLIES

Skaters can make their way to ice rinks in Telluride Town Park or at the Madeline Hotel and Residences in Mountain Village. Town Park’s Nordic Center in the park and the Madeline have skate rentals. NORDIC FUN

Nordic skiing opens up new outdoor options for the whole family with trails in Town Park, on the Valley Floor, in Mountain Village and more. The Nordic Center offers guided tours and lessons.

SNOW SEASON SKATEBOARDING

When the snow fills Town Park’s skatepark or the minipark on East Pacific, try The Drop Boardshop for winter camps and lessons on a specially designed indoor ramp.

WE LOVE OUR LIBRARY

The award-winning Wilkinson Public Library houses an impressive collection of books, music and more and loans cool nontraditional items like snowshoes and karaoke machines. There is also a variety of programming for all ages. HISTORY LESSON

Experience the area’s colorful past at the Telluride Historical Museum, where interactive exhibits and exciting programming make history come alive for enthusiasts young and old. AH HAA!

Telluride’s beloved Ah Haa School for the Arts can help creative kids find their inner Monet or Kahlo with wintertime classes, camps and other kid-friendly programs.

TAKE THE SCENIC ROUTE

Hop aboard the free Gondola that connects Telluride and Mountain Village for breathtaking views and the coolest journey ever. This very unique trip is one that the kiddos won’t soon forget.

AND MORE

Need more excitement? Try the ski resort’s Adventure Center for memorable outdoor activities or the Sheridan Opera House or Palm Theatre for family-friendly performing arts. And, of course, sometimes the best activity is none at all. Telluride is the perfect place to snuggle up indoors and watch the snow fall.
