"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

"Telluride Ski Resort counts 149 trails, multiple terrain parks, and an average annual snowfall of 280 inches." - Travel + Leisure Editors

"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
