Top Sledding in USA

If you're not super experienced, I suggest booking a lesson on the first day. You'll learn faster and enjoy the slopes way more, instead of wasting time figuring things out on your own. Trust me!

You gotta try night skiing! It's an awesome experience, especially if you go around 5 PM, but be prepared for colder temps up there, so dress warm!

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!

Dress in layers! It gets pretty cold, so I'd suggest thermal clothing and waterproof boots. Trust me, you’ll thank me later for keeping cozy.

Bring some snacks and hot beverages, because you’ll want to keep warm while waiting for your turn. I found the wait longer than expected, but it was worth it!

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.

I recommend bringing your own sled if you can. Rentals are available but can get pricey, and it's way more fun to use your own. I found mine at a local store for a great price before heading to Firecracker Hill.

I suggest wearing layering clothes, 'cause the weather can change fast. I had to keep going back to my car for more gear, which wasted time

I suggest bringing snacks and drinks because the on-site food is super pricey. I ended up paying way too much for a hot chocolate!
