 SKI TELLURIDE
|
Telluride, a turn-of-the-century mining town and the infamous site of Butch Cassidy's first bank robbery, is authentic, gracious, tough-minded and Western.
Telluride is sufficiently "out of the way" to escape the crowds, yet easily reached via jet service to Montrose airport.
Amidst the majestic San Juan moutain peaks, you'll enjoy over 1700 acres of open bowls, glades, chutes, and 84 trails without a lift line in sight and an average 300 days of Rocky Mountain sunshine.
A Small Town with a Big Personality,
Telluride is the perfect blend of pure mountain splendor, historic charm, world-class skiing, and unsurpassable beauty.
