Telluride Ski Resort
Telluride Ski Resort is a ski resort located in Mountain Village, southwest Colorado, United States.
The resort is located in the northwestern San Juan Mountains, part of the Rocky Mountains, and is home to the highest concentration of 13,000- and 14,000-foot peaks in North America. Telluride Ski Resort has over 2,000 skiable acres and spans between the historic town of Telluride, Colorado, and the modern alpine community of Mountain Village, Colorado.
Known for its advanced terrain, Telluride also has over 50% beginner and intermediate runs.
Joe Zoline, a businessman, bought two ranches – Adam's Ranch and Gorrono Ranch – located on the mountain in 1968.
Zoline hired Emile Allais, a French Olympic skier, to help consult on the design and layout of the mountain, and environmental planners. The Ski Area started in 1970–71. Five lifts were constructed, and the Telluride Ski School was founded in conjunction with the mountain's opening. The Telluride Ski Resort's Master Plan was developed by the architectural firm of MacAllister, Rinehart, and Ring and the resort officially opened on December 22, 1972.
Two Colorado Natives, Ron Allred and Jim Wells of the Benchmark Corporation in Avon, Colorado, purchased the ski area from Joe Zoline in 1978. That year, Annie Savath was named Director of The Telluride Ski School. Allred and Wells later created the Gondola and Chondola (public transportation systems) and the Prospect Bowl.[citation needed]
In the 1981–82 ski season, Telluride created the first snowmaking system.[citation needed]
Growth in the region between 1984 and 1986 included the opening of the Telluride Regional Airport (TEX) and the start of construction on the Mountain Village. The ski run "The Plunge" was officially created along with "Kant-Mak-M" and "Mammoth", on the front face. "Pick-N-Gad" and "O'Reilly's" were cut.[citation needed]
