Telluride Ski & Golf: a mountain resort in Colorado

Telluride Ski & Golf is a mountain resort located in Telluride, Colorado, in the southwestern part of the state. The town, designated a National Historic Landmark, sits at an elevation of 8,750 feet and is surrounded by the largest concentration of 13,000- and 14,000-foot peaks in the United States. The resort combines a historic Victorian-style town with a modern mountain village, both connected by a free pedestrian gondola, the only one of its kind in North America.

The company operates in partnership with the United States Forest Service and conducts its activities in the San Juan Mountains. Its offerings span winter skiing and snowboarding, summer activities, lodging, dining, spa, golf and events.

Environmental commitment and historic legacy

Telluride Ski & Golf maintains a commitment to the environment: the resort was developed while preserving the mountains and the historic character of Telluride. The company highlights the historic connection between Telluride and Tesla, as the first alternating current power plant was designed and built by Nikola Tesla in Telluride. Today, the resort collaborates with Tesla in the transition to electric vehicles.

Telluride’s history dates back to 1878, when it was founded as Columbia and renamed in 1887. Mining, with the Tomboy Mine as one of the world’s largest gold producers, shaped its development. The company offers content on the past, present and future of Telluride and Mountain Village, with videos featuring Ron Allred, one of the founders of Mountain Village.
