Telluride is a small town of about 2,300 people in the southwest of Colorado. What began as a silver and gold mining camp in the 1870s has transformed into a world-renowned ski and snowboarding destination. In fact, Conde Nast readers chose Telluride as the No. 1 ski resort in the U.S. for its marvelous slopes and boarding features. Telluride gets about 300 inches of snow per season on average and boasts more than 2,000 acres of skiable acres. As a cheerful bonus, this resort enjoys 300 days of sunshine per year. Telluride upped its game in 2008 when it opened the Revelation Bowl in 2008. Described as a European-style terrain, it’s located above the tree line making for a breathtaking setting that the word “scenic” fails to capture completely. This is a spectacular place to snowboard. Approximately 41% of Telluride’s slopes are for advanced snowboarders. If you like a pumping adrenaline surge to go with your snowboard run, Lift 9 takes you to “the Plunge”. shawnboday.net/a-look-at-teeluride-colorado-snowboarding-destination/
