T he story of Telluride began 127 years ago. Over that time, the characters have
been miners, hippies, ski bums, and explorers. They are the ones who dared to
build the roads, hammer the nails, and cut the trails. This is a story about the brave
explorers who had the nerve to seek freedom, defy the status quo, and live on their
own terms.
Together, they made the Town of Telluride—quite possibly the greatest ski town
in North America. An eclectic mix of Wild West gruffness and cosmopolitan flair.
Just up the hill sits the town of Mountain Village—a modern twist on the Telluride
ski experience. These towns, old and new, are connected by a gondola. Each of
its cabins is a place where riders swap stories, relive the day, and help build on
our 127-year story.

T elluride is a special place for kids and families.
Massive lift lines, long shuttle rides and traversing
icy parking lots doesn’t happen here. Nearly all of our
lodging is within a close proximity to the trail system,
our ski school is located slopeside, and kid-friendly
restaurants can be found on any corner. This mountain
playground is wide open.
