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.
