Telluride Ski Resort is thrilled to announce it has officially reopened for the winter season, welcoming skiers and snowboarders back to the slopes with exceptional early-season conditions and rapidly expanding terrain across the mountain.
Following the most recent winter storm cycle and a stretch of ideal cold-weather windows, the resort has benefited from excellent natural snowfall paired with strong snowmaking conditions. The result is a growing footprint of open terrain and a palpable sense of momentum as winter fully settles into the San Juan Mountains.
Opening today for the season is Sunshine Express (Lift 10) and Ute Park Express (Lift 11) which will now provide access to more than a dozen additional beginner and intermediate trails. This significantly expands options for families, progressing skiers, and those eager to explore more of the mountain early in the season.
Momentum continues tomorrow with the opening of Prospect Bowl, alongside Prospect Express (Lift 12) and Gold Hill Express (Lift 14). Guests will be able to access Prospect Bowl from both the east and west portals, unlocking expansive alpine terrain and some of Telluride’s most celebrated skiing and riding.
In addition to expanded lift and terrain offerings, all Telluride Ski Resort culinary locations are now open for the season – affording a complete experience on the slopes. From award-winning on-mountain dining with elevated alpine fare at Alpino Vino, Bon Vivant and Allred’s, quick-service options and Gorrono Ranch beach vibes, to après energy at Tomboy Tavern, guests can expect exceptional food and beverage offerings across the resort.
“We couldn’t be more excited to be back on our skis and snowboards,” said resort leadership. “The snow, the weather, and the energy on the mountain have all aligned, and it feels incredible to welcome everyone back with so much terrain coming online so quickly.”
With nearly wall-to-wall operations taking effect beginning this week, Telluride Ski Resort is entering the heart of winter with confidence and enthusiasm. Guests can expect additional terrain and operational updates in the coming days, as conditions continue to cooperate and the mountain continues to open.
Telluride Ski Resort invites locals, visitors, and media alike to join in celebrating the return of winter, the joy of shared turns, and another unforgettable season in the mountains.
