EDITOR’S LETTER
No place like it W
estern Slope ski towns like Telluride and Mountain Village are special places to visitors and residents alike. Within them, we find gorgeous scenery; world-class music and other forms of entertainment; non-chain specialty retail stores where we don’t mind spending our hard-earned bucks; and a vast array of dining and drinking establishments located in structures ranging from dives to upscale buildings to historic venues. A Southerner, I left the Slope a couple of years ago after six years of mountain-paradise living. There were reasons for moving back to swamp-and-mosquito territory, but it didn’t take long to come to the realization that western Colorado truly is home.

Some people who reside in other parts of the country might opine that it’s not “the real world.” Perhaps it’s not, given the low crime rate, clean air and water, friendly faces and a plethora of natural wonders. But, to paraphrase an old AM-radio hit, if loving it is wrong, I don’t want to be right. As the 2017 version of the Winter Guide points out, there’s plenty to experience in the Telluride area. Skiing and snowboarding may be first and foremost on the minds of those who visit the town or live here. But scan the pages of this publication and you’ll find so many things to see and do, you’ll wish you had the time (and money) to tackle it all. From live-music events at the Sheridan Opera House to shopping and din-

Big hit with local youth Telluride Ski & Snowboard Club continues growth mode Story by Justin Criado

Y
ou’re never too young to start an adventure. As executive director of the Telluride Ski & Snowboard Club, Justin Chandler has been helping youth start such journeys on the mountain for
over 20 years. First as a coach and later in his leadership role, Chandler has seen the club grow exponentially. “We’ve more than doubled our participation (since 2003),” Chandler said. “It keeps going up.” Chandler, who was named executive director in 2004, expects 400 total skiers across all age groups and skill levels to participate in one of the club’s programs this season. “It’s great,” Chandler said. “I love the growth.” The club offers youths from age 5 to 18 a chance to explore several disciplines across skiing and snowboarding, including Alpine, Freestyle, Freeride, Big Mountain, Cross Country and Telemark. The increase in participation has meant children are starting earlier and staying with the club longer, specializing in certain disciplines, which hasn’t always been the case, Chandler said. “We’re getting more and more (youth spe-
cializing in a certain area),” he said. “It used to be an anomaly or special. We used to a have a ceremony and everything.” Three club members recently were named to the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association Rocky Mountain Division Colorado All-Stars team. Skyler Nunn and George McQuinn both were named freestyle all-stars, while Ava Jodlowski was named to the team as an alternate. Nunn currently is the Rocky Mountain Division’s Dual Mogul Champion, and took 17th at the U.S. National Championships. Last year, she won both days of the annual Rocky Mountain Division competition in Telluride. The club hosts an event every year. She said one of the best aspects of competing and winning in Telluride was being able to do it in front of younger club members. “It was super inspiring and humbling to be able to compete in front of all the up-and-coming younger mogul skiers, knowing that they will be the next generation of the Telluride Ski & Snowboard Club, and hopefully helping them foster some of their mogul skiing dreams like other athletes my age once did for me,” Nunn said. Chandler said the commitment to training and being competitive is evident in the area. “There’s a huge drive from parents and kids to succeed,” Chandler said. “We’re trying to really continue and build on that.
“…The more kids you get, the more the kids stick with it. Those kids that are more recreational, it’s great to have peers out there. It makes everyone better.” The Telluride ski club, which started in 1985, is different than other Colorado clubs since it’s a public program, Chandler said. “We’re a public ski program, but we often train five days a week,” he said. “We provide as much as we can.” Chandler said the school district and resort have been great to work with over the years, which creates a conducive environment for club members. “Those kids do extremely well because of the terrain we train on,” he said. Chandler believes the uniqueness and remoteness of Telluride and Mountain Village give the club an advantage, especially when the club does well in competitions. “We’re here doing our thing,” Chandler said. “It’s fun to show up at other places and show everyone what we can do.” The increase in participation and success creates a need for more coaches, he said. The club currently has upwards of 65 coaches. “There are a lot of great coaches in Telluride,” Chandler said. Chandler said the club recently has been able to bring in coaches from around the country — mainly the Northeast — which
has made the program that much more wellrounded. “If we can get them here to get them out (to see the mountain offerings) we usually win that battle,” he said of attracting coaches to Telluride. Chandler commended the sacrifices coaches make to relocate here, and said that type of commitment is part of what makes the club so successful. “(The coaching) keeps getting better every year,” he said. While the popularity and praise of the club is always a point of pride, Chandler said the best part of the process is seeing what former club members become after they leave the slopes; some of them even return to the club to coach. “I’m actually (more) proud of what they become; the type of person they’ve become,” Chandler said. As a competitive ski club, the program requires participants to have at least two years of ski school experience before joining, according to the official website. The club recently added figure skating to its offerings. Payment plans and financial aid are available. For more information about the club’s programs, costs and other offerings, visit www.tssc.org.

owever, with a little creativity and a beat on where to find the specials, visitors (and locals alike) need not stress out about finding a decent meal at a fair
cost. The local institution Baked in Telluride has been around since 1976. Despite burning down in 2009, it barely skipped a beat, recovering quickly and serving up dishes at a cost bracket that’s affordable to anyone looking for breakfast, lunch or dinner. As owner Jerry Greene put it, “everything is a deal” when you walk into his joint. The display case is full of tasty treats and the menu offers everything from reasonably priced bagel sandwiches, Mexican fare and

the equivalent of Mom’s home cooking. Daily dinner specials range from spaghetti and meatballs to meatloaf and mashed potatoes. Those looking for the least-expensive item on the menu can get a slice of pizza for around $4 (depending on the number of toppings). Another tip: “The kids menu is for kids of all ages,” Greene said. Which means that patrons can order the spaghetti-and-meatball entree for a little less than $6. According to Greene, that’s a reasonable option for adults, since the kids’ portion is fairly sizable. Although Telluride is characterized by pricey fare, the Lawson Hill area just a few miles from town is known for its reasonable prices. Aemono Fine Foods have been serving fresh food in Telluride and the surrounding
TELLURIDE DAILY PLANET
area for over 15 years where they source highquality ingredients and local organic produce from local farmers. The menu includes fresh pizza from Aemono’s pizza oven and an assortment of soups, salads, sandwiches and sweets, including many gluten-free items. Also in Lawson Hill, Cindybread is known for its hot and cold sandwiches — all priced under $10. According to owner Kristen McClinsey, local winter favorites are the Spicy Meatball Italian and the Chicken Parmesan sandwiches. For those looking for a cheap breakfast, Cindybread sells $3 breakfast sandwiches with a double going for $6. McClinsey said for a small up-charge, customers can get breakfast fillings in a fresh croissant. And those who are heading into town and itching to get on the slopes may call in their orders ahead of time. Of course, no ski town would be complete without a pizza joint. Brown Dog Pizza in Telluride is one of a few options. Brown Dog serves up a traditional New York Style pizza but what it’s really known for are Detroit-style pizzas — a deep-dish pizza baked in a square. P.J. Kelley, manager of Brown Dog, offers his take on the best deal. “Getting a small Detroit pizza and splitting it fills up two people really well and goes the furthest.” With small Detroit pizzas ranging in price from $15 to $18, Brown Dog is but one of a few options for a cost-effective dinner in the heart of Telluride. Kelley spoke of another great deal, the lunch special that runs until 3 p.m. It’s “a slice of New York-style pizza with a 10-ounce Tempter IPA for $7,” he said. “And Wednesdays, we do the same thing with a slice of a Detroit pizza.” By the way, the cheapest item on Brown Dog’s menu is the $4 slice of cheese pizza. Located just a few steps away from Brown Dog is High Pie Pizzeria & Taproom, which serves up budget-friendly pizza, salad, appetizers and what some say are the best margaritas in town. The spot is a favorite for families as the restaurant has picnic tables that can accommodate larger groups. The large bar at High Pie has two big-screen televisions, a sports fan’s delight. Robbie O’Dell, a New Orleans native and the owner of Oak, the New Fat Alley, has been filling bellies with his New Orleans-style BBQ for decades. Located at the base of the gondola in Telluride, Oak has a fun après ski scene, with a menu that offers wallet-pleasing dishes such as pulled pork, pulled chicken, po-boys, fried okra, salads and much more. The Cornerhouse Bar and Grille is known as one of the more affordable food-and-bar joints in Telluride. Cornerhouse runs a special every day of the week, ranging from the $7 burger-and-fries combo on weekdays to Taco Tuesdays (tacos start at $1.50 and margaritas are $4). Bartender Jessica Lyles recommends ending the ski day with happy hour. “From 3-6 p.m. every day, we have $5 pitchers of beer
and 50-cent wings, so it’s a good aprés ski thing,” she said. Owner Kenny Rosen recommends that customers combine the specials to get the most bang for their bucks. “If you come during happy hour, the normal special is running. So if you came before 6 p.m. you could get a $5 pitcher of beer and six 50-cent wings, and the $7 burger and fries (on weekdays), and it comes to $15.” Cornerhouse’s daily food specials run until midnight. Steamies Burger Bar is a contemporary burger joint serving up the American classic with a healthy twist. They steam their burgers rather than frying, grilling or charbroiling, which makes for a different type of burger bite. Steamies serves breakfast, lunch and dinner daily. The eatery won Colorado’s Best Burger at a statewide competition in Copper Mountain last summer. One of the newest eateries in town is Taco del Gnar. This Ridgway establishment opened a second location in Telluride over the summer. The straightforward menu allows people to purchase individual tacos or opt for the “din-
ner” menu, which comes with two tacos, a side of beans and “home fries” — tater tots with queso sauce. The dinner menu is $10.50 and the tacos are all around $4. Despite the price, tacos are stuffed with quality ingredients including Portobello mushrooms, Korean shortrib, seared Ahi tuna and Alaskan pollock. When the establishment first opened in Telluride during the summer, the owners sought to assure the public they would not be raising prices due to their proximity to the ski area. At the time, co-owner Chas Blanton said, “Everyone wants to know, ‘Are you going to have Ridgway prices or Telluride prices?’ We are just going to stick with Gnar prices.” Over in Mountain Village, there are a surprising number of budget-dining selections including food carts that offer warm delights that won’t break the bank. Friends with Benny’s offers a variety of egg benedicts made from local farm-fresh ingredients, starting at $7. Diki Wachenstedt is the owner of the Grilled Cheese Cart, located in Heritage Plaza, where she whips up grilled cheese sandwiches that rival any you can find at the high-end restaurants in the area. You
can combine a selection of cheeses, bacon, brie or apricots for under $10 and you’ll be fueled up for the day’s adventure. The Diggity Dogg House is owned by Eric and Audrey Mosher, who started the Diggity Dogg cart in Telluride almost 20 years ago. Diggity offers Chicago-style hot dogs, brats and even a tofu-dog, as well as an assortment of sandwich specials that vary by the day or week. For $7-8, you can get a loaded dog or sandwich and a can of soda. Poachers Pub is a Mountain Village institution with a menu that covers a range of American fare: wings, nachos, hot and cold sandwiches, salads, wraps, mac and cheese and chili. The pub expanded last year with booth-style seating ideal for families to gather for lunch or après skiing. It’s the place to be for late-night revelry in the Mountain Village. Also, Crazy Elk Pizza and Tracks Café, both located in Heritage Plaza, offer a variety of items under $10, including a slice of pizza, salad, nachos and sandwiches along with varied selections of wine and beer.

he Sheridan Opera House recently began a new chapter in its more than 100-year history with the opening of the SHOW Bar on the first floor of the performing arts center.

T
he new bar is adjacent to the first-floor box office and lobby and features beer on tap, an authentic Brunswick-style bar from the late-1800s, antique tin ceiling tiles, original theater seats from the upstairs theater and fixtures to match the 103-year-old venue’s historic decor. The project also added an Americans with Disabilities Act compliant lift at the entrance and ADA compliant bathrooms adjacent to the bar. The new bar gives concert-goers a place to hang out — before, during and after shows. “We had a reputation of, the show’s over, the lights come on and ‘get outta here,’ but so many people, they love the music and they’re into it and now this bar will be open after shows,” Ronnie Palamar, the Sheridan Arts Foundation executive director, said. The Sheridan Arts Foundation is the nonprofit organization that owns and operates the Sheridan Opera House and SHOW Bar, and it hopes to be more financially sustainable with the new space. “We’re still a nonprofit and always will be, but hopefully with this, we’ll be less reliant on contributions,” SAF president Steve Palamar said. “The goal of the Sheridan Arts Foundation is to always try to do what’s right for the building. We try to do the best we can keeping with the character of the building, what the building deserves, what we think the town of Telluride deserves.” The SHOW Bar was built by Osborne Builders, and designed by Sefra Maples Interior Design and Consulting with architectural consulting by Peter Lundeen of FUSE architecture + interior. The project required approval from the Town of Telluride’s His-
torical Architectural Review Commission, which is unusual because HARC normally only reviews exterior projects. Due to the Sheridan Opera House’s historic landmark status, the interior project required approval as well. The SOH’s previous bar, the Vaudeville Bar, was tucked away on the third floor of the building and only opened during theater events. The space the new bar now occupies was previously referred to as the Gallery Room and used infrequently as rehearsal space, meetings, dance classes and rentals. “The Gallery Room was perhaps the most under-utilized space in the town of Telluride given its prime location and size,” Palamar said. The bar celebrated its grand opening in early October prior to a sold-out Steve Earle concert and the SAF plans to have it open at least three days a week during the winter and summer seasons. “The public response to our new bar has been exceptionally strong,” he said. “We have had numerous inquiries requiring private rentals for parties and weddings.” The bar will be open whether or not there is programming scheduled in the upstairs theater, although if the theater is rented out for a private event, bar hours may vary. During SAF-produced concerts, the bar will be open to ticket holders an hour before showtime, and then open to the public after shows. For a full schedule, check out SheridanOperaHouse.com. The Sheridan Arts Foundation plans to open just the SHOW Bar to host open-mic nights, karaoke, singer/songwriters trivia and other smaller events, depending on the response from the commu-

nity. Additionally, nonprofits have already reached out to the SAF to host events and fundraisers in the space as well. “There is just so much possibility with this new space,” Ronnie Palamar said. “Keep an eye on our website and Facebook page to see what all we have booked for the winter.” In addition to canned beer, wine and well mixed drinks — like what was on offer at the Opera House before — the SHOW Bar will have specialty cocktails, complete with appropriate names, like the OperaRita, the Crown Jewel and the Miners Old Fashioned. Drinks will range from $6-$12 at the SHOW Bar. By the way, the bar is available for private rentals. Eventually, the SAF hopes to house televisions and a PA system to stream the concert upstairs, which could either serve to entertain concertgoers while they’re getting a drink or allow people to purchase reduced-price tickets to view sold-out shows in the bar. “The beauty of the room offers a nostalgic feeling of small-town tavern during the early mining days and a relaxing spot to enjoy a glass of wine or your favorite cocktail,” Ronnie Palamar said. “We welcome everyone to come by, check out the historic Brunswick bar, and enjoy a drink.”

Staying
healthy
Warding off physical problems during ski season Story by Amy M. Peters Kent Gaylord, M.D., sees patients at Telluride Medical Center. (Photo courtesy of TMC)
G
oing on vacation to a world-renowned winter ski resort with altitudes ranging from around 9,000 to 13,000 feet can be a fantastic experience. Unless you find yourself sick upon arriving at your destination, that is. Or, even worse, if you get hurt on the first day on the mountain due to a general lack of fitness. And that’s why it’s important for tourists — even locals, for that matter — to prepare in advance for the upcoming winter season. Who wants to miss out on what ought to be a joyous occasion because of a nagging cold or a sprained ankle? Mark Campbell, physical therapist and owner of Peak Performance Therapy, says the best way for locals to prepare for and stay healthy during ski season is by strengthening their bodies. “In addition to a healthy lifestyle — not smoking, having a good diet, not being overweight – take a preseason ski-conditioning program,” Campbell said. “There’s a lot of literature that does show that it helps to avoid injuries.” He cautions, however, that those who are working out to get fit for winter sports should pay attention to the time they spend on it — don’t overdo your training. “Any time you can do some cross-training, it allows you to rest other joints and muscles,” added Campbell. “Avoid doing the same thing every time. Combine skiing with yoga, or with swimming, or with Nordic skiing.”
Campbell also recommends stretching to his patients. “Even if you just stick to the basics of calf stretches, quadriceps and handstrength stretches, I do think they can help with eliminating some injuries,” he said. Alison Palmer, physical therapist and owner of The Alison Palmer Physical Therapy & Wellness Center, agrees that a ski-conditioning program can address all the components that skiing demands of our bodies, including core strength, leg strength, endurance, flexibility, balance, coordination and explosive power. Wendy Borof, a pilates instructor at the Palmer wellness center, sees pilates as a great way to prepare for ski season. “Pilates will focus on exercises not just to build up leg strength, although that is certainly one aspect,” Borof said. “But also, pilates puts a focus on core and back strengthening exercises which will help create a well-rounded base of support to limit injuries.” Alessandra Jacobson, a massage therapist at the same facility, says that massage can be an essential part of pre-season ski prep, helping to loosen and circulate tight muscles after a big day on the slopes. “Stiff and sore muscles will remain so, if not given a way to increase blood supply to those tissues,” Jacobson said. FLU SEASON Beth Kelly, spokesperson for Telluride Medical Center, said ➼

the peak of influenza season is December through February. Health-care professionals recommend an annual flu vaccination for everyone over six months of age. Michelle Common, owner and pharmacist at Apotheca Integrative Pharmacy, has seen her share of locals’ ailments. She claims it’s primarily weather and dryness that account for prevalent nasal and chest congestion. “We sell a lot of humidifiers (so that people can deal with) the dryness and allergy seasons. To anticipate and prepare for that, people can take antihistamines,” Commons said. She’s a believer in immunity boosts and vitamins, what she calls “proactive maintenance,” including water-soluble Vitamin B and C supplements, EmergenC packs and probiotics. “Customers are using them before they hit the door on the way out,” Common said. Ramie Holmquist, an acupuncturist at Palmer center, suggests that acupuncture and herbal medicine can be an effective way to “proactively bolster your immune system” as well as play a role in getting people back on their feet more quickly if they happen to come down with a cold or the flu. ALTITUDE ISSUES Common adds that high-altitude sickness is the most common ailment afflicting customers. “We have a series of questions we ask and if they fall into that category, we send them directly

over to Telluride Medical Center,” Common said. Dr. Peter Hackett, director of the Institute for High Altitude Medicine, says that ideally, visitors will acclimate to the high altitude by spending a day or two skiing at a lower altitude resort before traveling to Telluride. “Or arrive in the afternoon and stay in Placerville or Ridgway for the night,” Hackett said. “Just that one night gives you a big advantage.” If a visitor does head directly to Mountain Village in one day, Hackett advises the prescription medication Diamox, which speeds up acclimatization, especially if a visitor has experienced altitude sickness in the past. “If the altitude sickness is mild enough and just feels like a hangover,” he said, “often times, 600 milligrams of ibuprofen is enough to get rid of the headache and make you feel better.” If a visitor is experiencing high-altitude sickness and cannot head to a lower altitude to spend the night, then Hackett recommends sleeping with oxygen overnight (which also requires a doctor’s prescription). Michele Genor, owner of Atmosphere Spa, began offering clients the use of an oxygen condenser a few months ago. It’s especially effective for elderly visitors and people staying in Mountain Village. “For people who are experiencing more minor altitude adjustments,” Genor said, “it really can help.” She recommends at least one-half hour on oxygen; clients then can return daily to reload without having to pay again.

W
intertime in Telluride is synonymous with world-class skiing, and rightfully so. The ski resort is home to massive views, dreamy glades, awesome sidecountry and uncrowded slopes. But fantastic skiing isn’t all Telluride winter has going for it. Winter in this town is no slouch in the arts and culture department either. Quite the contrary; the season is studded with original theater, stellar live music, entertaining fundraising events, world-class comedy, meaningful talks and good old-fashioned ski-town debauchery. From the impressive talent of homegrown artists during the First Thursday Art Walks to longtime on-mountain traditions like the Red Ball Express fundraiser, international performances at the Palm Theatre or the racy Burlesque show, there is never a shortage of off-slope options. Being that Telluride’s events are too plentiful to list, the Winter Guide staff has winnowed the winter smorgasbord into a highlight reel that’ll appeal to all parts of us: our brains, our eyes, our ears and our hearts. Bundle up and have fun out there.

December Events
With the excitement of turning lifts and the buzz of holiday events, December is packed to the gills with things to do. It’s also the darkest, and often coldest month of the year. A reliable antidote? The stage lights, dynamic acting and always-innovative storytelling of Telluride Theater. This season, the exceptional homegrown theater company is presenting “Peter and the StarCatcher” just in time to quell the solstice blues: The play runs from Dec. 17-24 at the Sheridan Opera House. The Tony Award-winning play upends the story of Peter Pan by offering an original story of the flying boy that we never could have imagined. Telluride Theater Artistic Director Sasha Sullivan fell in love after seeing “Peter” on Broadway, and knew immediately she wanted to bring it to life in Telluride. The audience, she said, “will see a show unlike any other — hilarious

comedy, 13 actors playing hundreds of roles, a beautiful story … and they will find out how Peter Pan became Peter Pan.” (Visit www.telluridetheatre.org for tickets.) Following the Christmas festivities comes the noisemaking, glass-clinking, dance-party countdown of New Year’s Eve. For a luminous light show that paints the ski mountain red, check out the torchlight parade early in the evening. Fireworks will follow by painting the sky. Or if you want to be in the center of the action, head to main street at 11:30 p.m., where the crowd will be counting down the year, dancing and merry making, ski-town style.

everything from mountain boogie to folky songwriters and doo-wop. Among the hottest tickets: blues rockers Chris Robinson and the Brotherhood (Feb. 10), Americana siren Shawn Colvin (Dec. 27), chamber folk outfit Blind Pilot (Feb. 24), jam favorites Leftover Salmon (March 15) and blues impresarios Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears (Dec. 31). “Our winter season is going to offer something for almost everyone,” said Kathrine Warren, marketing director for the Sheridan Arts Foundation. “We have more than 40 nights of programming scheduled for the season and we’re so excited to share the new Opera House SHOW bar with the community.” Check out www.sheridanoperahouse.com for all the info. With early January comes a blessed post-holiday lull and prayers for snow. Later in the month comes the iconic KOTO Lip Sync. The Lip Sync is, plainly, Telluride at its finest. It’s when local talent comes out of the woodwork as the unlikeliest people — teachers, librarians, radio DJs and neighbors — take the stage to impersonate famous musicians in acts that range from wildly creative to unforgettably risqué and downright hilarious. This year’s event will take place on Jan. 20 at the Sheridan Opera House. In addition to the Lip Sync, things heat up a bit in late January with the Telluride Fire Festival, set for Jan. 20-22. Now in its third year, the fest gets its inspiration from Burning Man, the annual art celebration in Nevada. Featuring artist and architect Anton Viditz-Ward and his fire sculptures — along with other Burning Man artists displaying their special brand of fire art — the festival takes place in Mountain Village. Larger-than-life fire installations will be on display at the top of the mountain by the gondola. In addition to checking out flaming art, attendees can partake in workshops in welding and fire dancing. Musically, the event boasts the Saturday night Fire Ball, featuring live entertainment from Love Tribe, described as a “techno-tribal fusion dance party.” Sounds hot? More information is available at www.telluridefirefestival. org.
Much More
By February, we’re well into our winter routines of skate skiing, lunch laps on the mountains and snow biking. We’re also thinking about love and chocolate. The San Miguel Resource Center’s annual Chocolate Lovers’ Fling lets us celebrate both, all while supporting a good cause. The Fling is many things: showcase of confectionary art, creative costume challenge, a chance to indulge in all kinds of chocolate delicacies and serious dance party to burn
all those calories off. But most importantly, it’s a fundraiser for the important work done at the SMRC, where the staff is committed to eliminating violence and sexual assault in San Miguel County. The Fling is scheduled for Feb. 11 at the Telluride Conference Center. After the Fling, it’s time for the funny stuff. The Telluride Comedy Festival brings world-class comedians to the box canyon every Presidents Day Weekend for four nights of outrageous entertainment at the Sheridan Opera House. The Comedy Fest had not announced its lineup as of press time, but to give you an idea of the caliber of talent it brings, consider a couple former guests: Aziz Ansari, Tig Notero Ed Helms, Rob Riggle and Paul Scheer. It’s a rare opportunity for rarefied humor. Speaking of rare, the Telluride AIDS Benefit is a wonderful anomaly in the world of nonprofits. TAB brings high entertainment to town, including its signature event: the edgy, theatrical, vibrant blow-out that is the fashion show. Volunteer models mix with high fashion and intricate choreography for a show so sophisticated it’s hard to believe it comes out of this little town. But the most remarkable thing about this nonprofit is its big heart and bigger mission: TAB raises more than $100,000 each year for prevention programs and client care beneficiaries in places from Colorado to Africa, along with supporting free testing clinics and educational initiatives. TAB Executive Director Michelle Maughan anticipates another knockout year. “People should expect to be highly entertained by 40 talented, gorgeous and giving local volunteer models,” she said. “They’ll also feel good knowing that they are supporting a very important cause by attending.” This year’s Gala Fashion Show is March 4. We can’t get through this list without giving you some brain food. That’s where TEDxTellurideLive comes in. The event at the Palm Theater, which is quickly becoming a popular springtime tradition, beams the illuminating ideas, fresh concepts, and inspiring content of the world-famous TED Conference to the big screen of the Palm. The best part? It’s free. Look for it at the end of April. And finally, some good old-fashioned ski-town shenanigans. You’ll find them all over the Telluride Ski Resort on Closing Day, but they culminate with the Closing Day Party and Pond Skim at Gorrono Ranch, an event that features music, onesies, banana costumes, bare skin, skis, colorful wigs and an icy pond guaranteed to produce at least a couple catastrophic crashes. It’s all the formula you need for a ski-season finale. See it for yourself on April 2. You might even find the courage to skim the pond.

fter a day exploring the mountains, nothing compares to sitting by a fire with family and friends.
Favorite fireplaces
Warm your toes when temperatures dip Story by Maureen Pelisson

elluride offers many options for warming your toes by the fire. Authentic wood-burning fireplaces are hard to find in mountain towns as many ski resorts banned the use of wood to heat homes and buildings in the early 1990s due to environmental concerns. But, places where you can enjoy the warmth of a wood fire still exist. The oldest and only wood-burning fireplace at an establishment in the Town of Telluride is at the New Sheridan Bar, part of the New Sheridan Hotel. Walk into the New Sheridan Bar, or the “old bar” as locals refer to it, and sit by the large wood-burning fireplace. It’s like stepping back in time; imagine miners enjoying a cold beverage after a long day in the mines. The bar was built in 1895 and has remained unchanged, boasting its original lead glass divider panels, mahogany wood paneling and filigree light fixtures. It hosts musicians a few nights per week and offers a bar menu with hearty dishes such as elk chili, Caesar salad and an assortment of sandwiches. “This winter, we’re adding infrastructure to our kitchen to be able to expand our new menu
to include bar friendly items such as fries, wings and more,” said Cathie Seward, assistant manager of the New Sheridan. The View Bar & Grill at the Mountain Lodge located on the Double Cabins ski run in Mountain Village has a large floor-to-ceiling, woodburning fireplace built out of local stone. It’s the centerpiece of the restaurant, which is open daily for hotel guests and the public. Named for the incredible views of the San Sophia Range, the View Bar & Grill is situated right by the hotel’s pool and hot tub; guests can swim, take a dip in the jacuzzi and enjoy a beverage by the fire afterward. “We believe we have the best fireplace in all of Telluride and the Mountain Village. It is one of the few real wood-burning ones and is the center focus in The View Bar & Grill,” said Neil Hastings, director of marketing and sales at the Mountain Lodge. The View Bar & Grill hosts après ski every day from 2-5 p.m., offering burgers for $5 and a burger with a beer for $8 along with live music during après ski on the weekends and a variety of sports on its five 85-inch televisions. The ski resort has a plethora of locations where riders can warm up while on the slopes.
Gorrono Saloon, located mid-mountain underneath Chair Four, has a wood burning stove that heats the former Basque sheepherder’s cabin, the original structure from a farm in the 1800s. The saloon seats about 20 on benches covered with sheep skins; rest your feet on stools fashioned from tree stumps and enjoy a selection of Colorado brews. The main lodge at Gorrono Ranch hosts one of the largest woodburning fireplaces in the area. It’s a well-loved spot for families and kids to warm up with a hot chocolate and some of Chuck’s famous chili. For an intimate and gourmet experience, ski to Alpino Vino, the highest restaurant in North America. Located at 12,000 feet, it feels like a slice of Italy in Colorado. Diners take pleasure in the fireplace while enjoying gourmet grilledcheese sandwiches, salads, charcuterie plates and soups accompanied by wines from around the world. The deck at Alpino Vino is a favorite setting on a sunny day where guests stay warm next to heat lamps and cozy sheepskin blankets on couches while watching skiers whiz by and taking in the tremendous views. For a romantic evening and some of the best stargazing around take a snowcat to dinner at Alpino Vino. ➼

At the end of the day, head to Allred’s for après ski by the fire with one of the best views in the area. If you’re lucky, you’ll find Bob Israel at the piano playing a broad range of music from classical and rock to reggae and blues. The two-sided fireplace provides ambiance for the main dining room as well as the bar. As one trip advisor reviewer noted, “It’s like dining in a snow globe.” When the snow is falling, and the lights of town shine below, it’s a magical experience. Dotted throughout Mountain Village are several fire pits. Reflection Plaza turns into a charming fairytale-like scene when the snow falls; the lights come on, and skaters hit the ice. Adjacent to the ice skating rink and outside of the Hotel Madeline, Starbucks and Dylan’s Candy Bar is a fire pit that is frequented by kids and their parents offering something for everyone including hot chocolate from Starbucks for the kids and adult beverages from the Black Iron Kitchen
and Bar or the M-Club. In Heritage Plaza in Mountain Village is a large fire pit that is popular day and night. The Town of Mountain Village offers fireside chats in the evenings on history in the area with local legends and world-renowned skiers and riders. For an off-the-beaten-path fire pit, walk over to See Forever Plaza, pack a picnic and enjoy the solitude and views of the San Sophia Mountain Range down to the Valley Floor. Several local restaurants offer fireside tables. In the town of Telluride, make a reservation at Rustico Ristorante, the Cosmopolitan and the Nook at Hotel Telluride. In Mountain Village, La Piazza del Villaggio, Bijou at Lumiere, Altezza at the Peaks and Tomboy Tavern. The Last Dollar Saloon in Telluride and Poachers Pub in Mountain Village offer funky alternatives to keep the fire burning into the evening.

T
hroughout time, many have considered the mountains to be a sacred place, a destination for finding refuge, solitude or healing.
Alternative medicines, healing practices abound Story by Regan Tuttle
T
he San Juans have for decades attracted spiritual seekers, and some have described the Box Canyon as a vortex, a whirlwind of highly concentrated spiritual energy. According to Telluride acupuncturist Josh Geetter, who was recently mentioned in the December Vogue magazine, that trend is increasing. Geetter, who with partner Judy Godec owns and operates Medicine Ranch, has seen firsthand droves of out-of-towners on a quest for healing. Geetter said that visitors, especially, are turning, and often for the first time, toward natural and plant-based remedies and alternative practices. Folks from all over the country are finding in Telluride ways to support themselves physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. They visit Medicine Ranch at the corner of Davis and Pacific to experience Geetter’s locally-harvested herbs, tonics, tinctures and to book acupuncture treatments with him. They also come to get their hands on Godec’s organ-
ic skincare line, Venus and Vetiver. “What we have here is a curation, a collection, of the finest local and worldwide treasured medicines,” Geetter said. “And we are bringing forth ancient medical and beauty arts.” Geetter has been a licensed acupuncturist for the last 15 years. In the Medicine Ranch clinic, he offers both private acupuncture appointments and a more affordable community clinic option for those on a budget, drawing tourists and locals alike. In a session, he might use needles, essential oils, singing bowls, smoke or gemstones, though he said his work is anything but new age; it’s actually very old classical medicine. And the best part? He said it works. In fact, western doctors at the Telluride Medical Center refer some patients to Geetter, and together they treat people holistically. Spiritual seekers have also discovered “Siri Karam” Earthtree, a kundalini yoga teacher dressed in all-white, with big cat-like eyes that seem to peer into one’s soul.

“great destiny.” “Great destiny” is also what she, as a healing arts practitioner, is helping her clients to find for themselves. “When we are moving in the direction of our true path, everything opens up, and life feels amazing,” she said. “I work with people where they are and offer tools so they may move forward into their most-expanded self … on their path toward their destiny.” Earthtree said she loves her work in Telluride — teaching movement, mantra and breath-work in group classes. She also offers private coaching sessions with clients and digs into their natal charts through Vedic astrology, another way she helps them to clear blocks and find direction. Recently, she started a blog (sirikaram. com) that focuses on monthly astrology to support her friends and students and to help them make sense of or put into perspective what might be happening in their personal lives. “I feel like a big part of my work is reminding people of who they really are, of their magnificent light and radiance,” she said. ➼

In the heart of town, Kristin Taylor is co-owner of Telluride Yoga Center and an instructor with a local following. In the last few years, she’s expanded her teaching to include the principles of Ayurveda, the ancient Indian science of maintaining a healthy and balanced life. Last year Taylor traveled to India and Thailand and brought back another teacher — Balarama Chandra Das — to help her share the centuries-old wisdom of diet, herbs and other Ayurvedic practices. Taylor said she and “Bala” (as she refers to him) have been working closely together in the last year, combining his eastern expertise on health with her indepth study of yoga on the mat. In
November, they held a workshop together in Telluride and they’ll host another again in February. They have additional yoga-withAyurveda events in the planning stages. “And we will be expanding our retail shop at Telluride Yoga Center to carry particular Ayurvedic products to promote dinacharya (daily ritual) and healthy living,” Taylor said. She said her studio will continue to offer basic yoga classes for beginners and those for the experienced student throughout the winter. Geetter also teaches Qi Gong, an ancient Chinese practice that includes breathing and postures, at Telluride Yoga Center as well. Those that find themselves in
Telluride for ski season will no doubt have access to other practitioners of alternative health and healing if they wish to seek them out. And, the full moon in Telluride is a spiritual event in itself. Many will be blown away this winter by the magnificence of the full moon rising over Ajax Peak at the back of the Telluride canyon. It’s a sight that leaves even locals breathless. Some consider full moons to be energetic power periods, and during those times Geetter and Godec will likely be found on the west side of town, placing their medicine outdoors to be bathed in
the moonlight. It’s a practice they say that makes their handcrafted products even more potent for those who will receive it. They both agree that Telluride is a magnetic place, one that draws people on a path of healing or consciousness. They say that some have found in Telluride what they may not have discovered otherwise. “People from other parts of country are finding natural, alternative medicine and organic products,” Godec said. “Telluride has become a leader and champion of introducing people to that.”
