There is nothing quite like waking up to bright sunshine bouncing off snow-capped mountains.  Here in the San Juan range of the Rocky Mountains the list of ways to get outdoors and enjoy our winter wonderland is endless.   The Telluride Ski Resort is known for its steep slopes and deep powder but for every black run, there is a blue or green run to match.   Spend a day learning to ice climb, soar high above Telluride in a glider or challenge yourself on one of the six area Nordic and skate ski parks.

Please see our Staff Picks to go in-depth on just a few of our favorite activities and please contact the concierge staff of the Hotel at 970-728-0660 or concierge@columbiatelluride.com so we can help you plan something truly special.
