Telluride Ski & Golf CEO, Dave Riley Blog

If you have any interest at all on what is going at Telluride Ski Resort, I highly recommend a quick stop at the Telski CEO Dave Riley's Blog. In my humble opinion he has done a great job communicating with the world on the happenings on the mountain.

Great Job Dave!

December BIG storm

The storm did not dump quite 3 feet. But it put Telluride in a great spot for the ski season! One thing for certain it was a very WET snow. A lot of the trees broke off.

A few photos around the area. Mary Dawn took most of these.

SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS FROM 1 TO 3

AREAS OF SNOW WILL SPREAD FROM SOUTH TO NORTH TODAY...BECOMING
WIDESPREAD OVER THE COURSE OF THE AFTERNOON AND THEN CONTINUING
THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT. SNOW COULD BE HEAVY AT TIMES LATE TONIGHT
AND EARLY SATURDAY MORNING. SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS FROM 1 TO 3
FEET ARE EXPECTED BY LATE SATURDAY NIGHT.

That is what the National Weather Service Watch said. Mary Dawn picked a "great" time to travel to Montrose, this weekend. :) Might be slow going....

But WOW, going to be some great skiing on Sat afternoon, and Sunday. Hopefully, they can open up more than one run. :)

I am famous!

My parents are part of the Colorado Country Life Coop for their electricity. My mom sent me a clipping back in 2005 asking me if I wanted to submit a photo for the sunset sunrise contest.

Honestly, I forgot about it.

But my photo was selected for the COVER of the 2008 calendar. Yeah! :)

After the storm.... and official opening date.

Telluride Gives Thanks for Holiday Storm. Opening Day set for Friday, November 30.

Telluride’s Thanksgiving was extra special this year as a holiday storm brought 12 inches of new snow and the resort is set to open Friday, November 30th.

Ok, so now the date is set. A few photos I took from this morning... one from this afternoon.
