Family Fun

Hey! Hart isn't writing this guys, Ginny is. I just thought you should know off the bat. And hopefully I can give yall a fresh perspective on Telluride. I have been coming up here my whole life. When I was young, my family came up just about every summer to enjoy the hiking and the wildflowers. To tell the truth, when I was particularly little, the wildflowers were my favorite. It makes sense though, seeing as my uncles gave me piggyback rides all the way up my "hikes". Come July the flowers just explode onto the mountain and Telluride is alive with color.

Yesterday, March 31, The Melodians played at the Sheridan Opera House. This was one of the last major shows the Opera House had before the off season and boy oh boy it a great way to go out!

Here in Telluride, we have a little something for everyone. If you're looking for activities and events, other than our world class ski mountain, Telluride has many activities available for the whole family!

While the Vancouver Winter Olympics lingers in the near future, the U.S Ski/Snowboard Cross Team prepares to come to Telluride, Colorado to prove they are worthy of such a prestigious event.

So the lifts are closed for the day but you still have a craving for MORE snow... take the family sledding by lift #7! The other day, some friends and I went to lift #7 to get our powder fix and try out our new sleds we had bought... Needless to say, it was one of the best times i've had away from the slopes. Check out the pictures!

I'm Chaco. Well, today I'm King Chaco. I have a King's Robe in royal purpe so that today, everyone knows I'm King.

So for anyone who loves point ballet, there was a real treat for you in Telluride on Sunday October 18th. The State Street Ballet performed Cinderella at the Palm Theatre. The show was lots of fun. Of course, all I need to have a good time is guys in drag, popcorn, and kids in cute costumes. Seriously- guys in drag. Cinderella's stepsisters were men dressed in hoop skirts and silly accessories, which provided fantastic comedic relief rarely seen in point ballet.

The sun was shining, the sky was blue, and it felt like summer. Lots of locals were out with their dogs and Telluride couldn't be a more pet friendly place. The favorite local hang out for dogs is the San Miguel River trail.

My husband and I recently went over Imogene for a weekend adventure. It took us about 5 hours, and we stopped to take photos, let their dogs run around, and hike a little. It was my first time over and I have to say that the views are stunning.
