Alpine, Nordic and Backcountry Skiing
“Telluride really is a skier’s mountain,” says renowned ski-maker Pete Wagner. “Great terrain, and there’s never anyone on it.” Ski 1,700 acres and 84 trails at America’s best Alpine ski resort, where there’s something for everyone, from the Galloping Goose, a beginner’s dream trail, to the Plunge, with its steep bump runs. You can also Nordic ski groomed, rolling trails through alpine forests and wide-open meadows, or explore unchartered territory with cat-skiing or heli-skiing.
Ski untouched powder
Board an Airbus Helicopter for the purest powder experience with access to over 200 square miles of pristine and untracked snow. Telluride Helitrax takes you to some of the highest skiable elevations in North America, where you can ski and board off summits and among high alpine basins, cirques, and couloirs. Enjoy six guided runs totalling approximately 10,000 – 12,000 vertical feet in small, intimate groups of four guests to one guide.
