With not a flake of new snow and nothing but sunshine for over two weeks in Telluride, our outlook is finally looking white with a weekend forecast of 4-8″ @ … Read More
Edit and Words by Harry Kearney:
Telluride once again held the only United States stop for the Wold Cup earlier in December, but for the first time with a local Telluride shreder. After a week of tryouts held before the race, Hagen Kearney came out on top with a coaches discretion race start after proving himself by consistently slaying the training, even topping the U.S. team riders on occasion. Little brother Harry Kearney got in to run the course as well, and threw together this little edit for Unofficial Telluride.

“Telluride, the snow falling down…” Nope…that’s not happening at all. Instead it’s bluebird. The groomers are fast, the bumps are big and there’s only about a 20 inch base. If you go off trail you get attacked by rocks, trees, stumps and anything else you might find in a forest.
But if you’ve got a seasons pass it might be worth going out late in afternoon, your day should include slicing a couple of laps on See Forever then make your way over Tracks for a five dollar tall boy and some finger licking good sammies.
If we look back to the conditions last year the comparison is just sad. Last Christmas break Telluridians were welcomed home with numerous pow days. Here the videos from December 2010.
Today Telluride enjoyed a damn fine ski day! After forecasts called for 6-10″ out of this storm, we ended up getting about 4-6″ total which was more than enough to soften things up and make for some great ski conditions.
So great in fact people were puking all over the place…
Skiing the trees is starting to get a little less dangerous and definitely more fun, Chair 14 was skiing stellar, and the crowds really weren’t that bad today for being a “busy” holiday week. Maybe it was the cold temperatures and snowy conditions this morning that kept the tourists away…a combination locals will take any day!
Soft snow and sunny days ahead will surely make for a wonderful X-Mas weekend…Happy Holidays!
With no new snow in a week, conditions are getting thin up on the resort and a bit skied-off. We are definitely in need of some new snow to freshen … Read More
Telluride’s Gus Kenworthy took 4th place this past weekend at the Breckenridge stop of the Dew Tour with a bad ass, super technical run. He spun like crazy one way, flipped liked crazy the other, went off some jumps backwards, and even did a flippy spinny thing off a rail! Pretty Frickin’ RAD!
And to think he only got 4th… WTF!
Unofficial Telluride would like to give a HUGE THANKS to everyone who came out last night to check out our G.N.A.R. event! The party went off in a big way … Read More
