telluride tree skiing

Winter returned to Telluride the last few days with a lingering storm dropping a foot of new snow in the mountains through yesterday. With 50 degree + temps and sun all last week, this storm really hit the reset button on winter bringing our base back up over 65″.

Yesterday was one of the finest pow days of the season here in the San Juans with overnight winds blowing the snow deep in the trees. It continued snowing all day yesterday and into the night picking up an additional 6″ bringing the base to 70″ for the first time this season here at Telluride. The mountain is skiing great again with nice weather in the forecast.

Nice way to start off spring…will this be our last storm of the season?

With 11″ of new snow in the past 48 hours, Telluride continues to impress with stellar conditions and excellent skiing. The last few storms have come in with some wind causing the snow to be drifted in areas and the ridge lines scoured. Despite this Telluride has a deep base of over 60″ filling in and covering our rocky terrain nicely.

The trees off Chair 9 were the spot to be yesterday, protected from the wind and skiing deep. The snow was dense and creamy and skiing fast. The upper mountain lifts didn’t open until around 1pm due to high winds but were a nice treat to those who stayed out for the afternoon.

This morning’s highlight was the opening of Revy Bowl which was shreded and tracked out in no time. Fun stuff up there…

Another storm is approaching Colorado now with snow expected from late tonight through Friday here in the San Juans. NOAA is calling for 7-18″ here in Telluride by Friday at this point. Lookin’ good…

NOAA Forecast for Telluride

After weeks of no snow, unseasonably warm temps, and bullet-proof conditions…Telluride finally got dumped on! The last two days have been the best ski days in some time and morale is definitely up in the canyon. The forecast is helping as well with additional snow-fall leading us into the weekend…let’s hope winter sticks around for a while!

The Unofficial Telluride crew had some pretty damn good days last year and this video highlights some of the action. Enjoy our season edit and get pumped for 2012, we are ready to take it to the next level!

Thanks for the Support and let us know what you wanna see on Unofficial Telluride this year.

Here is a nice video by Emory Smith from yesterday. The mountain was reporting 3″ new in the morning but was much deeper when the goods were sampled. Areas of blower were 12″ or more and the crowds were minimal. All day, there were stashes to be found all over. This video is evidence to how good 3″ over night can be at Telluride. Awesome day out there and great video Emory, love that pole whackin’…

It happened.  They called for 1-2″ last night and we got nine inches of cold smoke without any wind.  The old Telluride wives tale was in effect.  This morning was well deserved, the snow quality was excellent and you barely felt bottom, unless it was rocky.  It was neat skiing the rocky sections and the

Well, today was one of those bittersweet days that skiers love to hate but that is also tough to bellyache about.  It was hovering around 50 degrees all day in … Read More

It was beautiful in Telluride today with warm temps, sunshine, and some fresh pow. We didn’t get a ton snow, but enough to freshen things up and make for some fun riding. My buddy Brian and I dropped some awesome pillows that we have had a blast skiing recently. Such a fun zone that will get even better with
