One of the best winters of my life was spent in Telluride! I spent the winter of ’95 there doing a marketing internship with Telluride Ski and Golf company–skiing 100 days. Coming from the heartland of Indiana University, I was struck by the 14,000 foot mountains and the amazing amount of snow we got that year! I have been back to Telluride a couple of times since then and would recommend to anyone to put in on your top 5 list!
Recently Dave Riley took over the rains as the CEO. He started a blog that gives you an inside look at what decisions are made on a ski mountain, as well as some good images that make you want to be there. If you are into skiing or the ski industry you should totally check it out!
