2009/2010 Winter Ski Season Kicks off!

We are ecstatic here in Telluride for the 2009/2010 ski season! Thanksgiving day (while the turkey was in the oven) the chair lifts started up, skis came out, the sun was shining and we gave thanks here in Telluride for the beginning of the winter ski season.

For the second consecutive year, Telluride was ranked the #2 resort in North America in the Conde Nast Reader's Poll. On opening day, a light dusting covered the slopes and with a base of 20" inches, we're gearing up for another "Unmatched" ski season here in the San Juans.

After taking some turns of the mountain, we went for Apres Ski at the Hop Garden located at the bottom of Lift #4. In its second year of operation, the Hop Garden is the perfect place to catch some rays, grab a drink, and grab one of the best burgers on the mountain. Check out pictures from opening day here in Telluride:
