"Telluride Ski Resort is renowned for its remote location which keeps crowds at bay and offers direct ski-in, ski-out access from town. It features a high concentration of 13,000- and 14,000-foot peaks, making for dramatic views. The resort is known for its extreme, rugged terrain but also offers blue and green runs from the top of every lift for beginners. With around 280 inches of snow annually and dry, low-water content snow, it's a haven for powder lovers." - Travel + Leisure Editors
