Top Active Leisure & Sport Spots in Telluride

If you're renting gear consider doing it in town instead of on the mountain. It's usually cheaper and you avoid the hassle of long lines at the ski shop on the slopes

I suggest downloading the Telluride app for live updates on lifts and conditions. It saved me a lot of time wandering around trying to figure out where to go next.

Grab lunch at one of the spots in town, like The Last Dollar Saloon. It’s cheaper than on-mountain dining and you'll get more local flavor!

Bring snacks and water! There are no services up near the hills, so pack a lunch. We got hungry after a few hours and ended up missing some great sledding time to go back and find food.

Make sure to arrive by 10 AM. That way, you beat the crowds and get a prime spot to sled. I got there later and had to hike up a bit to find a good hill.

If you're planning to go on a weekend, try to go early in the season, like late December or early January. The snow was way better then, and the crowds were manageable. By February, it gets super busy!

Check the weather before you go! It can change fast in the mountains, so make sure you're dressed in layers. I ended up freezing because I didn't pay attention and didn't pack warm enough clothes.
