Rooted in western mining history with millions of dollars worth of gold and silver extracted from the surrounding peaks, Telluride has evolved from a rugged, strike-it-rich boomtown to a modern day, world class destination resort. Telluride Ski Resort offers an unmatched mountain experience for all levels of skiers and snowboarders thanks to some of the most spectacular terrain and scenery in North America. From refined groomed runs to big mountain areas, there truly is something for everyone. Beginner and intermediate skiers and snowboarders can ride to the highest peaks and enjoy terrain and views typically reserved for the experts.

Living up to its reputation for legendary terrain, Telluride has recently opened the spectacular Revelation Bowl, Palmyra Peak and Gold Hill Stairs to go along with easy cruising from the top of the mountain and one of the most expansive learning areas in the Rockies.
