Telluride Ski Weekend!


Over Presidents Day weekend I had an awesome opportunity to go to Telluride, CO for a ski weekend. Telluride, if you don’t know much about it, is a superb ski town in western Colorado. With no main roads or interstates going within 2 hours of the town and a limit to the amount of construction that cane be done due to the geography it is beautifully tucked away town with an epic ski resort. Going to the summit of many mountains the runs gave you a long trip down the mountain before you needed to go back up. At the top you were surrounded by peaks, some of which you could hike to and ski down in nearly untouched snow. Even though they only received maybe 2 inches while we were there, on many of the runs you could find areas of snow that had yet been untouched-something you NEVER see in California and would only see the day of the snow at the I-70 resorts.

Anyway, if you ever have the chance, Telluride CO is truly one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen-and this is largely in comparison to the other Amazing and beautiful sights throughout the rest of the Colorado ski areas. It was a beautiful weekend of skiing and yummy food AND we got to see Andy Bernard from the show The Office (whose name is actually Ed) do a stand-up show! I am a huge fan of The Office, so getting to see him live with his bluegrass band was a big treat!
