Telluride offers something for all-from beginner through to expert\u00a0and non-skiers alike.\u00a0During the Gold Rush the gold and silver mining camp of Telluride once boasted more millionaires per capita than New York City. The town&#8217;s wealth attracted Butch Cassidy, who made his first bank heist here in 1889. Telluride eventually replaced its picks, shovels and hammers with skis, sticks and boots in 1972. Thirty plus years later Telluride is a one of the world&#8217;s premier ski destinations. With Victorian architecture cradled under majestic peaks, Telluride has stayed true to its historic mining roots and has a sense of authenticity rarely found elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>Of course history isn&#8217;t the only draw for this old mining town. Telluride also has some of North America&#8217;s best skiing and most beautiful scenery. Modern ski lifts\u00a0and a lack of crowds means lots of time on Telluride&#8217;s famous ski slopes.\u00a0The opening of Prospect Bowl (which almost doubled Telluride&#8217;s skiable acreage) marked the beginning of a decade long renaissance at this remarkable Southwestern Colorado resort. Building upon the tremendous success of Prospect Bowl, the resort has continued to add lifts and expand expert terrain. Intermediate skiers will enjoy being able to ski most everywhere throughout the ski area, but advanced skiers and above are definitely be Telluride&#8217;s biggest fans.<\/p>\n<p>The ski resort is split between two towns &#8211; Mountain Village and the town of Telluride. The two are connected by a free pedestrian gondola. Mountain Village is a modern planned unit development while Telluride is the historic downtown area. The town is home to the best restaurants and bars, while Mountain Village appeals more to families and those looking for a more luxurious experience.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ultimate-ski-guide-block\" style=\"margin-top:30px; border-top:1px solid #eee; padding-top:20px;\">\n<h3>Ultimate-Ski Guide to Telluride<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ultimate-ski.com\/ski-resorts\/usa\/telluride\/ski-area\/\" title=\"Ski Area in Telluride\">Guide to ski area, and best mountain restaurants &gt;<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ultimate-ski.com\/ski-resorts\/usa\/telluride\/ski-lifts\/\" title=\"Ski Lifts in Telluride\">Ski lifts, lift pass prices, and discounts available &gt;<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ultimate-ski.com\/ski-resorts\/usa\/telluride\/ski-schools-guiding\/\" title=\"Ski Schools in Telluride\">Explore ski schools, ski lessons and guiding, and book online &gt;<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ultimate-ski.com\/ski-resorts\/usa\/telluride\/getting-there\/\" title=\"How to get to Telluride\">How to get there from nearest airports and book transfers online &gt;<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ultimate-ski.com\/ski-resorts\/usa\/telluride\/accommodation\/\" title=\"Accommodation in Telluride\">Where to stay: best hotels, B&amp;Bs, apartments, and book online &gt;<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ultimate-ski.com\/ski-resorts\/usa\/telluride\/apres-ski\/\" title=\"Apres Ski in Telluride\">Discover apres-ski bars, restaurants, nightlife and other activities &gt;<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Telluride Ski Resort: Unpretentious and remote, this southwest Colorado resort lies at the end of an imposing box canyon amid dramatic mountain backdrops  and some of the world\u2019s best ski terrain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":501,"featured_media":59675,"parent":3418,"menu_order":3656,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"template-premier-resort.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[815,653],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3656","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-telluride","category-usa","entry","has-media"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.0 -
