Overview
Telluride has always been known as one of the most beautiful places to ski in the world. What people didn’t know was that the resort offers one of the highest vertical drops in North America, averages more than 300 inches of fluffy powder every year, and has unrivaled lift-accessed backcountry. Continued terrain expansion has put the inbounds skiable terrain at more than 2,000 acres, and a lack of crowds means you will often have run all to yourself.
