Profile
This is where Butch Cassidy met the infamous Hole in the Wall gang somewhere around the 1870s. Telluride has naturally segregated terrain for all ability levels. There's plenty of challenge, including the famous Plunge into town. An environmentally sensitive gondola transportation system brings you from the town to the mountain. Two high-speed gondolas and seven high-speed quads make getting around a breeze. The gondola makes for easy travel day and night between the village and the old town.
