Telluride, CO

We didn’t stay long in Telluride, but it was fun. My second cousin once removed and his family was renting a condo in Telluride on a vacation from their home in Alaska. Since I had never seen them before we decided to stay there and ski.
We went straight from Fruita to Telluride and got there at about noon. We met people on the top of the mountain and skied for a half day.
The next day was a little better. We got up and went skiing. Telluride is definitely in my top five because there were a lot of the trails that I like and there was sun, so it was soft and not icy. My two favorite runs were Milk Run and another trail that I don’t know the name of. Milk Run had good exposure and an awesome place where, if you came in with enough speed, it was possible to launch right into the moguls. The other trail was pretty bad, but there was a small cliff at the end that was fun to jump off. If I had to guess I would say that it was about six feet tall, but it had a great reentry so it didn’t hurt. Since I usually hate big jumps and thin rails, this was a major step up from what I had been doing.
The next day we packed up and left for Gallup, New Mexico to pick up our camper.
