Telluride Ski Resort has the best of all worlds -- catering to beginners and intermediates and providing some of the best black diamonds in the nation. 

Hightail it to Gold Hill lift for the deepest, fresh powder and the best open bowls and chutes in the West. Powder stashes can still be found in the trees off Prospect Lift late in the day. Experience those “sweetest powder shots”, and be sure to take the Plunge, one of the most popular runs in the U.S. It’s known for its breathtaking views of peaks and town, filmed for VISA commercials. The Plunge is a heart-pounding, jaw-dropping black diamond bump run falling 3,140 vertical feet from the top of the mountain into historic Telluride.

Telluride is renowned for its steeps and bumps, yet 38 percent of the mountain is intermediate terrain. Lift 5 is the perfect hideout for intermediate snow riders, offering short chutes, cool corduroy, glades and moderate bumps. Lift 10 and Ute Park in Prospect Bowl are primo runs for the beginner and lower intermediate, with two miles of winding green and blue runs. See Forever is Telluride’s most popular trail, with panoramic views running from Mountain Village clear over to La Sal Mountains in Utah.

Open slopes and no lift lines endear Telluride to those seeking an “off the beaten path” holiday. Let Ski Telluride  book your vacation today and get into one of the many fine Telluride vacation rentals. Remember, we can also set you up with a Telluride vacation package to include lodging, lift tickets, rentals, transportation and more.
