works best for you, keeping our target arrival time in mind.

No one's quite sure how Telluride got its
name.
Some folks think that it's inspired by the mineral
tellurium, and with its long history as a mining
town, it's a good guess... but there's no tellurium
in the mines near Telluride.
A more common theory comes from the fact that
the town is terrifically remote: seven hours from
Denver. "To hell you ride," the old silver miners
used to say.
Today, simply hop on the gondola to take a ride to
heaven, because this remote location has become
a top-notch destination. With nearly 2,000 skiiable
acres, untracked bowls, and uncrowded slopes and
spectacular views of the San Juan mountains,
we're inviting you to take a ride for some
springtime adventure with SKI BUMS.

Explore Telluride's new terrain in the gorgeous Colorado spring sunshine
For the new season, Telluride has just opened an entire new area; skiers and riders can explore the
challenging terrain of the stunning Palmyra Peak, adding 200 acres and nearly 2,000 feet of vertical. This
north facer stands tall at 13,320 feet -- a perfect playground for spring conditions. Beyond all this, Telluride's
built a reputation as a fun mountain for all skill levels, so if you're looking to get a taste of late-season
skiing and riding at its best, this trip is for you.
The weather in late March is full of sunshine, and Colorado's famous for it: 350 days of sun, on average. At
this time of year, the snow gets soft in the afternoons towards the town, while the high-altitude of the peaks
keeps things frozen up top. Historically, March is Telluride's snowiest month, so we may be in for some fluffy
stuff to play in.
We'll have a fun daily itinerary of get-togethers -- with as much time as we can get in the sun -- from
outdoor barbecues at lunch to afternoon apres ski. It's simply a great way to vacation.

Have a friend or partner who's not a skier? Take a look at Telluride's other things to do
We know we've got BUMS who are happily coupled with non-skiers and boarders, so we want to be sure you
take note of all the other fun stuff that's available at Telluride. Check out the San Juan Outdoor School to
learn about snowshoeing, rock climbing, ice climbing, mountaineering, and hiking. Late March is an ideal time
to enjoy stuff like this, and we love to have new friends with us. We've even built time into our itinerary to
make your own plans, for those of you who are in the mood to try something new!
