"Every December, the Telluride, Colorado, community gathers to light its 17-foot-tall Ski Tree, a spectacle created by local artist and metalworker Anton Viditz Ward. It's completely constructed from donated skis — even the star at the top is made of ski poles. A tradition in the ski town since 2013, the tree is assembled each year as part of Noel Night, which kicks off two weeks of holiday festivities throughout Telluride and Mountain Village. Prefer a more traditional display? Check out the Denver Botanic Gardens for its annual Blossoms of Light event." - Travel + Leisure Editors
