Telluride Winter Time

So while writing this blog, I currently reside in a top winter destination: Telluride, Colorado. Now the town's name sounds a little silly, Tell-Your-Ride, but I promise, it is the best ski town, not resort, you will experience.  It got its name by the gold bearing ore Tellurium, or "To Hell You Ride" because of the long, strenuous journey getting there, but none of that matters. Telluride is laid back and chilled, always happy and wonderful. Its many restaurants satisfy all and the many things to do on the mountain impress even the highest of high-rollers, attracting fame and fortune. The mountain, is a different story, it is not laid back and chilled, it tests you. With four difficulties on the mountain to mark the runs, and two sub-difficulties per color, it could be said that Telluride warns you. From easiest to hard: there is green, double green, blue, double blue, black, double black and EX (extreme terrain). Telluride has no surprise in the beginning, telling you exactly what you are going to go down. It has well over 50 trails, and doesn't disappoint. Sure a blue is steep in Telluride, but on other mountains that blue is a black. A double blue is a double black, so the terrain is more difficult than the mere sign says. Some of the its features boast the steepest black in North America, and some of the longest lifts in Colorado. Still there is high class food on the mountain, with Alpino Vino, a small winery on the top of the mountain, and high camp to grab a snack and warm up, Telluride offers nothing but the best.
