Telluride History

The Telluride region is blessed with a most dramatic scenic backdrop. Much has been written in a variety of publications concerning the raw beauty of Telluride, e.g., In a family of beauties, Telluride is the most stunning - Boston Globe, November 1989. In addition, nature's topographical layout enables three mountains and two towns to be joined by one ski area and a high-speed gondola transportation system. This plan has a European flair and, above all, diminishes the need for the bus and automobile. It is also unique that the Telluride Company, master developer of the Telluride Mountain Village and Ski Area owner/operator, controls property mid-mountain on its ski area. This enables the Village project to be entirely ski-in and ski-out with a commercial core possessing perfect Southwest solar exposure.
