TELLURIDE

BY ERIN SPILLANE

Known for its world-class ski resort and vibrant summer scene, unique Telluride has so much to discover.

That’s the thing about Telluride: enchanting discoveries await in and around the box canyon, but quite possibly the most significant discovery just waiting to be made is that Telluride is a year-round hub where each season brings new surprises. Sunny, warm summertime is a delight, with hikes to wildflower strewn meadows, stand-up paddle-boarding on a high-alpine lake or a lung-busting session mountain biking, before a late-afternoon cocktail and live outdoor music. The lazy days of summer give way to the glory of Gold Season in the San Juans, as the greens of summer transition into the dazzling riot of yellows and ambers come autumn. In wintertime, there are the epic snows, skiing, snowboarding, outdoor activities, a fun après scene and crisp, starry nights. Springtime follows as the snows suddenly retreat, leaving the aspens and firs that cloak the lower flanks of the surrounding mountains bursting into life. Telluride has an abundance of riches, to be sure. And, when you think you have experienced all that this place has to offer, it reveals a little more, just to make certain that you know that you’re in a wonderful, unique place. Time to truly discover Telluride?

Absolutely!

Close-Knit Community Sure, it’s known for skiing and snowboarding in winter and fun summertime festivals, but Telluride is a community first. Small, friendly and laidback, Telluride somehow manages to balance these small-town attributes with highly regarded dining and arts scenes worthy of any big city, all underpinned by an abiding love for the stunning outdoors that surround us and for the people — friends and neighbors, community leaders and colleagues — who call this very special place home.

THE Telluride’s iconic Gondola is free and connects Telluride and Mountain Village via a unique and scenic 13-minute journey. This one-of-a-kind public transportation system carries 3 million passengers a year (more than 50 million since it opened in 1996) and is ADA-, pet- bicycle- and strolleraccessible. According to the Town of Mountain Village’s website, it would take 21 passenger buses operating on the 7.2 miles of road between the two towns to maintain the G’s capacity of 1,070 people per hour.

TOP OF THE CLASS

3

The Telluride School District is tops in the State of Colorado. Currently ranked no. 1, the local school district has occupied either first or second place every year since the Colorado Department of Education began rankings over 10 years ago. In addition, Telluride High School placed in the top 2 percent of all high schools in the state, while the Telluride Middle School nabbed the top spot — yes, no. 1 — among all Colorado middle schools.

Unique Shops

The local retail scene is home to a wide range of independent, funky and locally owned boutiques and shops, giving locals and visitors alike a wealth of opportunity for some retail therapy or simply finding the perfect gift.

Summer Resort Fun With the snows a distant memory and the sun high in the bluer-than-blue Colorado sky, head to Mountain Village and the Telluride Ski Resort for incredible adventure options. First, there are a number of freestyle, technical and cross-country trails that crisscross the resort and wind around the Village Center. Then there’s the ski resort’s Bike Park, a professionally designed, lift-served course with undulating trails that spiral downhill through the glades and meadows of the resort. And, new this year, the resort’s Canopy Adventure, which takes participants through a course of ziplines, aerial bridges and rappels.

A memorable time for the entire family.

6 THE HIGH NOTES

bon appétit The Telluride and Mountain Village dining scene is a mecca for foodies, with highly professional chefs and inventive and delicious menus that rely on ingredients sourced sustainably and regionally. The result? A well-regarded center for gastronomes with fabulous and fun restaurants sure to satisfy a wide range of tastes, occasions and budgets. This summer, there are abundant opportunities for outdoor dining on sunny patios, lively decks, numerous parks perfect for a picnic and, in Mountain Village, vibrant plazas and the creative use of offline Gondola cars.

Love music? Telluride and Mountain Village do too. A variety of venues ­­— ranging from the historic Sheridan Opera House to sleek, modern spots like the Michael D. Palm Theatre to intimate spaces in local bars — give music lovers a wealth of year-round options. Come summertime, it’s all about Telluride’s uber-popular festivals: Bluegrass, the Ride, Jazz Fest and the Blues & Brews Festival, plus a sprinkling of smaller gatherings, including the long-running Telluride Chamber Music Festival and outdoor live music in Mountain Village.

8 Fun for Kiddos Telluride is a playground for kids of all ages. Our summertime favorites include hiking, paddle boarding and fishing, a ride on the Gondola, visiting the award-winning Library or panning for gold at the Telluride Historical Museum’s mining sluice.

Pro tip for parents: Mountain Village is a family-friendly paradise with a bungee trampoline, outdoor movie nights, lawn games and more.

9 SPLENDID SUMMERS As the San Juans shed their winter whites, summer in Telluride reveals a lush, verdant landscape where hiking and biking trails wind through sun-dappled groves of aspen trees, waterfalls cascade, wildflowers colorfully carpet high-alpine meadows and the sun shines high in the bluebird sky that Colorado is famous for. Telluride might be best known for its skiing and snowboarding, but summertime here is an outdoor enthusiast’s paradise, with options for hiking, biking, stand-up paddle-boarding, fishing, golfing, climbing and more.

Making History

Telluride’s history, which stretches back to the late 1800s, is equal parts fascinating and quirky. For instance, did you know that Butch Cassidy robbed his first bank here? In 1889, the iconic outlaw made off with over $20,000 from the San Miguel

Valley Bank (then located in the Mahr Building, which still stands at 129 W. Colorado Avenue). And, Telluride is the first place in the world where alternating-current (AC) electricity was used. The feat, which owed its success to local entrepreneur and mine owner L.L. Nunn, took place in 1891 at the Ames Power Plant west of town.

The Telluride Historical Museum is a great place to explore this history, and was itself the site of another strange chapter from Telluride’s past: The building that houses the museum used to be a hospital and was the location, in 1949, of a self-appendectomy.

Yep, a local physician removed his own appendix without mirrors or anesthetic, apparently the first and only procedure of its kind.

The Arts, Dahling Telluride was one of the first towns to be named a Colorado Creative District, a nod to the work of the pillars of the local arts scene: arts council Telluride Arts, which has promoted the arts in the area for almost 50 years, as well as the Ah Haa School for the Arts, Telluride’s beloved center for arts education.

The Telluride Golf Club offers a 71-par, 18-hole course that meanders west from the Meadows ski run and boasts unforgettable views of the surrounding peaks. The club also has a putting green, practice facilities and pro shop. An added bonus? Tee off in Telluride and your ball will go 15 percent farther thanks to the high altitude, although those stupendous views, along with the occasional wildlife sighting, make it hard to keep your eye on the ball.

Love the Library

With a remarkable collection of books, DVDs, music, oral histories and more, programming for all ages and non-traditional loan items like karaoke machines, costume kits and snowshoes, the Wilkinson Public Library is a well-deserved national award winner among libraries. A bumper sticker frequently seen around town says it best: “Came for the skiing, stayed for the library.”

STEM-TASTIC COMMUNITY This community is a hub for STEM. The popular Pinhead Institute promotes STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) education in area youth via engaging after-school activities, summer camps and a prestigious summer internship program. Since 1984, the Telluride Science Research Center, the largest independent molecular science center in the world, has hosted thousands of the world’s most eminent scientists, including a number of Nobel prize winners.

Visiting scientists collaborate, discuss and investigate in a relaxed, supportive environment, an approach that has led over the years to significant breakthroughs across a variety of disciplines.

Geographically Blessed With the highest concentration of 13,000- and 14,000-foot peaks in North America, Telluride’s mountain surroundings are stunningly beautiful. They also boast the tallest free-falling waterfall in Colorado, 365-foot-tall Bridal Veil Falls at the east end of the box canyon, and, to the west of town, Wilson Peak, a stately fourteener that makes up the Coors logo.

Wild Neighbors

Spend any amount of time outdoors in and around Telluride and you’ll surely spot some of our most esteemed neighbors: Elk, black bear, lynx, beaver, coyotes and mountain lions all call the area home.

Remember, though, to respect these wild creatures by keeping distance, not feeding them and securing trash.

TRANSPORTATION 101 Telluride is served by two airports, Telluride/Montrose Regional Airport (MTJ) and the Telluride Regional Airport (TEX), with direct daily flights to and from each and service to a number of cities including Denver, Dallas, Houston, Chicago and more. Once here, the free Gondola connects Telluride and Mountain Village, and both towns have a free town loop bus service.

20 World Class Winters Home to the award-winning Telluride Ski Resort, the region is a true winter wonderland. The resort’s wide-open slopes, absence of lift lines, diverse on-mountain dining options and famed ski school make for a winning combination and Condé Nast Traveler readers have often ranked the Telluride Ski Resort the No. 1 Ski Resort. Alpine skiing is the most prominent — but not the only — element of the area’s wintertime adventure mix. Nordic skiing, snowmobiling, ice skating, ice fishing, and more, mean that when the snow flies, this stunningly picturesque corner of the San Juan Mountains is the place to be.

TELLURIDE BREW PUBS

TELLURIDE BREWING CO. 156 Society Drive | Lawson Hill | 20+ Brews on Tap + Nitro Heritage Plaza | Mountain Village | 14 Brews on Tap | Los Buenos Tacos Telluride is home to a number of unique breweries perfect for kicking back with carefully crafted lager or ale. The award-winning Telluride Brewing Company is a straight-up brewery, with operations and a tap room tucked away in the Lawson Hill neighborhood, as well as new brew pub and taqueria located in the center of Mountain Village.

LIV Sotheby’s International Realty broker Brian Gavin moonlights as chief operations officer at TBC and recalls an origin story that is pretty much Telluride in a nutshell:

Gavin remarks that the guys have kept it cool all these years by brewing “bad ass” beers using Rocky Mountain snow-melt, premium malts and high-quality hops. For years, those beers have been enjoyed in the TBC’s pared down taproom adjacent to the brewery in the growing Lawson Hill neighborhood. “Our brewery/taproom is located in Lawson Hill, a small community located between Telluride and Mountain Village. The development there has allowed us to expand greatly since we opened and

In 2020, TBC opened a taqueria, in partnership with Los Buenos Tacos, and brewpub in the Franz Klammer breezeway, just steps from the famed “Beach” at the base of the Telluride Ski Resort. Says Gavin of the new venture, “We’ve been able to reach a whole new group of people in this location, given its close proximity to the ski resort, hotels, vacation rentals and the Gondola. We’re so thankful for the warm reception we’ve received

STRONGHOUSE BREW PUB 283 South Fir Street | Telluride | 9 Brews on Tap | Lunch + Dinner “Everyone in Telluride knows the Stronghouse,” says owner Victoria Chapus. “It has had many lives over the past 100-plus years ­— the town’s arts center, the office of the Daily Planet, two different restaurants, a storage facility, produce warehouse and more. The history of the building reflects the history of Telluride. It has soul and when you’re there, you feel it, you’re a part of it.”

Now beautifully and painstakingly restored by Chapus, a part-time Tellurider for over 20 years, the Stronghouse building is home to her new venture, the Stronghouse Brew Pub. Already, this lively spot on South Fir Street, steps from the Gondola, is popular, with USA Today ranking it #4 on its 2021 list of Best Brew Pubs in America. It’s also gaining attention for its brews, thanks to Stronghouse brewmaster Sam Enders, who has won national and international beer competitions for other breweries and is now preparing to compete with some of his Stronghouse brews.

Of the four core beers offered year-round, a favorite is the Stronghouse Lager, which Enders says, “is a 5.1% ABV German Style Pilsner, brilliantly golden, light drinking with slight fruity flavors and a kiss of hops. Pilsners are such a well-known beer found in every corner of the world. Ours is a local favorite as well as familiar to the traveler. It is the hardest beer to get right because it is so light and delicate,

possible. "All of our main brewing equipment was made in nearby Montrose, Colorado using all American Steel, 95% of our grain is grown and malted in Colorado and most of our Hops come from Billy Goat Hop Farm located south of Montrose," Enders says.

The brews are complemented by the cuisines of chef Mark Adair, who has crafted a menu of alpine comfort food. Stronghouse beer makes it into several of the food recipes including: Beer Brined Chicken, Beer Cheese Sauce and Beer Bread. Other favorites include: Colorado-made brats, Four Corners Green Chili and Pretzel Bread Pudding. Says Chapus, “Mark is a native and current resident of Colorado.

VINCENT VAN GOGH

WHAT IS PANTONE? In 1963, Pantone revolutionized the printing industry with the colorful PANTONE MATCHING SYSTEM®, a standardized color reproduction system. The system allows all color-conscious industries — ­ from printers, to fashion, graphic and product designers — to incorporate colors from a set range, ensuring they match even if, for instance, designers and manufacturers are on opposite sides of the world.

Now considered the global experts in color trends — and home to the Pantone Color Institute, which has been naming colors of the year since 2000 — Pantone started life in the 1950s as a commercial printing company. In the late 50s, its owners hired Lawrence Herbert, a recent college graduate who used his knowledge of chemistry to reorganize the company’s stock of pigments and inks.

“At times, we select artwork for our clients, other times we’ll let pieces of their private, curated collection dictate a spatial aesthetic, but we always consider the spectacular views from within our projects as artwork itself.”

Property Showcase FOUNDED IN 1986 and incorporated in 1996, the town of Mountain Village was inspired by the ski villages of Europe, with a center comprised of sunny, cobblestone plazas, architecture suggestive of the Alps and a vibe that is at once elegant and friendly. The town sits amidst the Telluride Ski Resort at around 9,500 feet above sea level and consists of over 2,100 acres of land. Full-time residents number around 1,300. The town offers a mix of condominiums, fractional ownership (condos and homes), residential homes, sprawling mountain retreats and developable lots.

The town’s hub, the Village Center, is home to a variety of restaurants and stores, as well as office space, luxury hotels, homes and condominiums, typically situated around one of the European-style village plazas. The Village Center hosts the Gondola’s Station Mountain Village, which connects to Telluride, as well as Lifts 1, 2 and 4 on the Telluride Ski Resort. The resort’s main offices, ticket offices, ski and snowboard school, nursery and more are based here.

The Village Center also boasts the Telluride Conference Center, two skating facilities, outdoor fire pits and seating, a climbing rock and equipment rentals. Condominiums dot the center and are considered well-located with ski in/ ski out access to the mountain and an easy stroll to the Gondola.

Away from the charming Village Center, wooded boulevards wind up and around the ski resort. In the area adjacent to Lift 10-served terrain, San Joaquin Road and Benchmark Drive are winding streets with a mix of condominiums, town homes, sprawling estate residences and yet-to-be-developed lots. Ski runs weave around these neighborhoods, providing immediate access to the slopes. North and west of this area includes stretches of the Telluride Golf Club, as well as Adams Ranch Road, Double Eagle Drive and Russell Drive, where many of the homes sit alongside the golf course or high-alpine meadows. The more open, expansive terrain here translates into stunning views of the surrounding peaks.

Throughout Mountain Village there remains a wide selection of lots and development parcels available for purchase.

The Town’s well-thought-out Comprehensive Plan recognizes the importance of space, tranquility and extraordinary views and seeks to protect these qualities while promoting Mountain Village’s sense of community. Lots have been carefully planned to give owners the best access to the ski resort, balancing this with privacy, quiet and views.

Maps of Mountain Village can be found on pages 40-41.

Property Showcase THE CHARMING TOWN OF TELLURIDE, designated a National Historic Landmark District, sits snugly near the end of a picturesque box canyon surrounded by majestic 13,000- and 14,000-foot peaks. Just a mile and a half long and six blocks wide, the town has a population of approximately 2,200. Downtown is a menagerie of colorful Victorian homes, delectable restaurants, independent boutiques, art galleries, outfitters and more, and includes iconic structures like the San Miguel County Courthouse.

In Telluride, nothing is ever more than a 10-minute stroll away, whether you are walking or biking. In winter, access to the slopes is easy: Lifts 7 and 8 and the Gondola are all based in town, just a few easy blocks from main street, and the Galloping Goose buses are outfitted with racks for skis and snowboards. With high-performing local schools; the nationally recognized Wilkinson Public Library, which has incredible programming for all ages; and the much-loved Telluride Town Park, with its ballfields, playgrounds, festival stage, pool, ice rinks, skate park and more, it’s easy to see why Telluride is an extraordinary place to call home.

Homes in Telluride range in size and style from quaint, carefully restored Victorians to modern homes designed to take advantage of the stunning views and Colorado’s 300-plus days of sunshine per year. Opportunities exist to find single-family homes a stone’s throw from main street that offer jaw-dropping views of the northern flanks of the ski resort, of Ajax peak, which looms over the end of the box canyon, or into stunning Bear Creek Canyon. In the east end of the box canyon, the lot sizes are bigger and the keywords in this neighborhood are serenity, silence and scenery. Town is approaching build-out and vacant lots are rare.

Telluride has approximately 45 condominium complexes.

Some are located in the west end of town along the San Miguel River and offer easy access to Lift 7. Others are located eastward along the river, making main street and Town Park convenient. Downtown, there are opportunities for well-located penthouses with decks that overlook main street and benefit from a bird’s eye view of truly spectacular scenery, as well as smaller complexes.

When looking at property in the town of Telluride, some factors to consider include: proximity to the Gondola, the lifts and main street; views; neighborhood type; historic designation and zoning.

A map of the town of Telluride can be found on page 50.

Property Showcase WITHIN 10 MILES of Telluride and Mountain Village are a variety of neighborhoods that offer additional privacy and serenity, as well as gorgeous views and regular wildlife sightings, including Aldasoro Ranch, Diamond Ridge, Elk Run, Gray Head, Last Dollar, Raspberry Patch, Ski Ranches, Sunnyside, The Preserve, West Meadows and more. These wide-open areas feature building sites that range from 1 to 35 acres and a variety of resale homes. Each subdivision typically has its own homeowners’ association and guidelines, and many offer additional amenities.

Further outside Telluride and Mountain Village, several stunning, sun-drenched mesas offer the very same qualities of privacy, serenity, expansive and beautiful vistas and wildlife, making for an idyllic Western lifestyle. Depending on location, most of these properties are a 30- to 45-minute drive away from the two towns on a combination of well-maintained paved and gravel roads. There are historic ranches that were homesteaded by early settlers, and other ranchlands that have been subdivided into parcels of 35 acres or less to form subdivisions. Most of the subdivisions have been developed with electricity, gas, telecommunications and county-maintained roads and offer both resale homes and the opportunity to build a dream Western retreat. The region’s mesas include Hastings, Horsefly/Iron Springs, Specie, Sunshine and Wilson.

Two outlying towns that offer community living and slightly warmer winters are Norwood and Ridgway. Norwood, about a 40-minute drive from Telluride, offers large-acreage parcels and homes in addition to a quaint western downtown.

At 7,000 feet above sea level, Norwood is horse and ranch country at its best, with its annual rodeo a highlight. Often referred to as the “Gateway to the San Juans”, Ridgway, north of Telluride, is set in the Uncompahgre Valley and offers a mix of Old West and a funky arts scene. It’s also a close-knit community with a picture-perfect downtown, several subdivisions, plus properties on adjacent Log Hill Mesa. Nearby towns include Ouray, 10 miles away, and Montrose, 25 miles away.

South of Telluride and Mountain Village are a number of mountain towns and subdivisions including the tiny, historic town of Ophir, nestled in a stunning valley south of the ski resort; the community around pretty Trout Lake, which is one of the most photographed lakes in the United States; and the former mining town of Rico. Surrounded by National Forest, today Rico adeptly mixes a love of outdoor pursuits with a historic past. Heading south is the 38-mile long Dolores River valley which culminates in the town of Dolores.

River Restoration The final phase of a multi-year project to re-channel the San Miguel River west of town and deal with mining-era waste is complete. During Telluride’s heyday as a mining hub, the river was straightened to run along a railroad track on the southern side of the valley. The initiative sought to return the river to its former, more natural path of winding along the Valley Floor and undertake tailings remediation work. The important project finished in 2020, under budget and ahead of time, making it a win-win for the community and the environment.

The ABC's Looking for the perfect Telluride-centric gift? The Telluride Alphabet may just fit the bill.

Authored by Jill Wilson and with illustrations by Abby J. Fox, this beautiful book uses people, places and events from the area’s colorful past and present to teach the ABCs. Due for release in July and available at Between the Covers, Hook and the Telluride Historical Museum, as well as online at thetelluridealphabet.com, The Telluride Alphabet is informative, interesting and entertaining for all ages, grown-ups included.

Pinhead Pride The Pinhead Institute has reason to be proud.

Members of its robotics team have been crushing it in the Global Innovation Competition at the state level. Next stop? Nationals.

Not bad for a group of young people who worked sometimes together and sometimes virtually in a season that was postponed and then elongated because of the pandemic.

Festivals are Back!

After a pandemic-related pause last year, Telluride’s wonderfully diverse festivals are back, and, boy, did we miss them. Expect these enthralling and entertaining events to be fluid this year, creatively reimagined to have more intimate gatherings, a focus on outdoor spaces and, for some, virtual components.

Foundation's Major Announcement The Telluride Foundation is the largest funder on the Western Slope with total giving back into the communities it serves of over $60 million. Since its inception in the early 2000s, this award-winning, nationally recognized nonprofit has been led by Paul Major, a former ski industry executive and national ski team coach and manager. Now, the search is on for a replacement for Major after his announcement, made earlier this year, that he will step down.

Fiber Upgrade

Spreading Compassion The Telluride Education Foundation’s Compassion Campaign is underway. The initiative aims to raise funds for local schools for pandemic-related needs like PPE, additional staffing and mental health support, as well as thank-yous to staff in the form of gift cards, community dinners and more. A parallel aim? To spread compassion, kindness and gratitude. For more, visit tellurideeducation.org/tcc.

The Town of Mountain Village is upgrading its internet infrastructure from cable service to a fiber service.

The Town recently appropriated the necessary funds to upgrade its broadband infrastructure to deliver 1-gigabit internet to Mountain Village in support of the demand for higher speeds. The initiative seeks to upgrade every house, condominium, townhouse, hotel and business to a fiber connection in the coming years.

New Eateries Two new spots mean more superb lunch options. Lunch Money opened earlier this year at 126 W. Colorado Ave. and offers an uber-healthy and uber-delicious lunchtime menu. In the Lawson Hill neighborhood, Counter Culture has taken over the former Aemono restaurant location to offer fare that emphasizes regionally and sustainably sourced ingredients for its fresh and tasty sandwiches, burgers and hand-cut fries.

Farm to Table In Telluride and Mountain Village, organic, regional and sustainably produced food is abundant. Local restaurants are at the forefront of the fresh food movement, sourcing from farms and ranches all along the Western Slope. It’s also easy to eat just as well at home thanks to our local farmers’ markets — Wednesday in Mountain Village, Fridays in Telluride — and fruit and vegetable stands in Telluride’s Spruce Park, as well as delivery services that range from simple CSA baskets to full-service grocery drop-off. Now, a number of businesses are even composting their food waste, with the rich composted material heading back to — you guessed it — regional growers.
