We know, we know – we keep talking about ski season and the upcoming winter! What can we say? We live in a winter wonderland and there’s a ton to do here in Telluride and Ouray (and everywhere in between). We’ve put together this week a list of ideas for your winter calendar for 2010/2011 – and you’ll see most of these coming up on our local events calendar, too!

Ski Telluride – It’s right here in our own backyard and offers some of the finest skiing in the region. And even if you don’t ski, taking the trip up to walk around this quaint ski town is definitely worth the short drive. Visitors can fly into Montrose airport for the best access and even rent a car from there.

Ouray Ice Festival – An annual classic held just a half hour (max) from our offices in Ridgway, people travel from all over the globe to attend this event. Whether you’ve climbed ice before or are an old pro, there’s everything from rental gear to clinics with internationally-known athletes. Evenings are filled with benefit dinners, slide shows and movie premiers.

Nordic Skiing – We’ve got quite a bit in our little neck of the woods. Use this link to find nordic tracks surrounding the San Juan region.

We’ll see you again next week and hope that your weather is as beautiful as it is here!
