Telluride is spectacular. In the winter, the ski resort has 18 lifts turning, two high-speed gondolas, 148 ski trails, NASTAR course, terrain parks, backcountry and hike-to terrain, along with extreme & heliski terrain. And since it is so difficult to get here, the ski runs are always wide-open, and there is never a lift line. In the summer, the golf course, hiking, mountain-biking, rafting, paddle-boarding, fly-fishing is outstanding. There are no crowds, bad attitudes or aggravation. The entire Town of Telluride is designated as a historical district, so the town maintains an 'old west' mining-town feel with strictly-governed Victorian architecture and many interesting places to explore (abandoned mining towns, ghost towns, etc.). Hop in your four-wheel drive and you can cross over the mountain passes and explore Telluride's mining past. Don't expect to see a chain store, a chain restaurant, a Starbuck's, a gas station, a neon sign, traffic, or even a single traffic light; there are none. This town's character and growth has been strictly controlled and restricted by the Town Council and the Telluride Historical Commission, and there have been no compromises. This home is located on the ski mountain at 10,001' elevation, so it is extremely private with incredible views, yet just a short run down the mountain and you are in the village core with the all the amenities offered by the 5-star resort hotels. If you are flying, the airport is just 10 minutes from the home and can accommodate private planes and smaller commercial aircraft; or the next closest airport is Montrose, about an hour and a half beautiful drive down the mountain.
Unique Benefits
Ski-in / Ski-out. This alpine luxury mountain home offers some of the best ski-run frontage in Mountain Village. Over the years, our family has rented many homes that were represented as 'ski-in' or 'ski-out.' Unfortunately, most turned out to be only 'ski access.'

Ski-in / Ski-out. This alpine luxury mountain home offers some of the best ski-run frontage in Mountain Village. Over the years, our family has rented many homes that were represented as 'ski-in' or 'ski-out.' Unfortunately, most turned out to be only 'ski access.' This always meant a long hike (with gear and kids) at the beginning and/or the end of the day. This can sap the fun and energy out of a ski day for both the kids and the adults. Loading up a car, fooling around packing equipment, dealing with snow and ice on the roads, looking for parking - do you really want to mess with all of this frustration? When you stay in this home, you do not even need a car. As the home is alongside the Galloping Goose ski-run, you never have to leave the house. The kids can come and go, meet at the house, have lunch, drinks, change out gear, warm up by the fire, or just take a break. If you have kids, and you actually want to enjoy your own vacation, this is the place. Mom and Dad, you deserve a vacation too; if you have to be the driver, ski valet, equipment hauler, shuttle person, communications director and counselor (yes, little kids can get grumpy with 25 lbs of gear). As a bonus, living ON the mountain allows you 'fresh tracks' on your first run each morning, before the lifts even start turning. Be the envy of every powder hound - there is no better way to start your ski day! With the ski-mountain location at 10,001' elevation, you will be surrounded by pine and aspen trees, with total privacy and seclusion, as the home is located at the end of a 500-foot driveway, which is located at the end of a private road!
