                     “The most beautiful place you’ll ever ski”

Welcome Reception. Accommodations at the Cimarron Lodge Condos in downtown.  Definitely ski-in, ski-out located in front of the Coonskin lift. Fully equipped kitchens, large in door Hot Tub, individual ski lockers at base of slope. There are lots of places to dine and shop. Roundtrip on Continental to Montrose. Coach transfer from Montrose to Telluride. Telluride has expanded 400 acres, offering some of the most stunning skiing in the continent. The fabulous new European-style Revelation Bowl and lift opens this ski season. This bowl is located on a northeastern aspect that naturally gathers huge amounts of snow from the resorts predominant westerly storms. Legendary for its scenery and terrain since the beginning Telluride has now set itself apart with all it has to offer skiers. One unusual aspect for a ski area is that beginners and intermediate skiers can ride to the highest points on the mountain and experience terrain and views typically reserved for the experts. The Mountain Village is connected to downtown Telluride by a free gondola ride. Anyone can ride the gondola. It’s free to pedestrians who simply want to travel between Telluride and Mountain Village. This is the only transportation system of its kind in North America. Operates from 7:00am to midnight. Also there is a free Telluride in-town shuttle loop every 20 minutes from 7:00am to midnight.
