#2 Telluride, CO

Best Place to Stay: New Sheridan Hotel
Best Place to Eat: Brown Dog Pizza
Best Place to Ski: Telluride Ski Resort

Visiting Telluride is like stepping into a perfectly preserved old Western town. While there, you can marvel at Telluride’s nearby San Juan Mountains. These majestic peaks tower more than 13,000 feet over the idyllic Colorado countryside.

Bridal Veil Falls, Colorado’s tallest free-falling waterfall, is right next door to Telluride. So there’s plenty to do and see.

But you’re here for the snow, that powdery good stuff. So we’ll get right to it. When in Telluride to ski or snowboard, head straight for Telluride Ski Resort.

The resort’s gondola ascends right from town all the way to the ridgetop, with breathtaking views and cruiser runs. Or head up to the Revolution Bowl for even more epic scenery and an even more challenging terrain.

After a long day carving powder, you’ll be hungry. To eat in Telluride without blowing your budget, go for Detroit-style Brown Dog Pizza. Or for drinks and small plates, try There Bar.

And to get even more of that old-timey cowboy vibe, get your beauty sleep at Telluride’s New Sheridan Hotel.

Try Telluride for your next ski trip, and you’ll see why it’s one of America’s best ski towns.
