Fresh Powder in Telluride

Greetings from Telluride,

Last Saturday I woke up to 22 inches of fresh powder in Telluride. It made for the most epic ski day of the season and this new snow will ensure fantastic conditions for the balance of the season. We still have seven days of skiing left in the season. The ski area just received a permit from the US Forest Service to provide backcountry guided tours into Bear Creek and Alta Lakes. You can click on the below link to find out more. You can also find out about the new bridge and stairs installed to access Gold Hill Chute #9.

TELLURIDE SKI RESORT'S HIKE-TO TERRAIN IN PRIME CONDITION

With one of the deepest snowpacks in the state this year, the skiing in Telluride has eclipsed other resorts in Colorado. Depending upon the weather, ski patrol is opening different hike-to terrain daily. This winter, Palmyra Peak, Gold Hill Chutes 1 and 9, and Black Iron Bowl have all opened. This European-style skiing and snowboarding provides rare access to bowls and chutes with soft turns and incredible views.

Bald Mountain
Bald Mountain is accessible via an access gate located on Upper Galloping Goose in the Lift 12 area. This local's favorite includes both Jacpot and Audrey and is home to some of the best and longest lasting stashes on the mountain. Be sure to look to the south at the summit for a view of the historic mining town of Alta just below. The gate to Bald Mountain will close promptly at 2:00pm daily in season.Estimated hike time: 20 - 25 minutes.

Black Iron Bowl
Black Iron Bowl is accessible via Lift 12 (Prospect Lift) and a short hike out Prospect Ridge. Skiers and riders will be able to drop in anywhere from 10 minutes to 30 minutes hiking time along the ridge. Dropping 1000 vertical feet on the primary pitches, terrain includes the expansive Mountain Quail couloir, European-style faces, open glades and steep chutes. The Mountain Quail couloir had previously been accessible as guide-only, but now the full expanse of Black Iron will be open for public access as conditions allow. Other new runs include Westlake, Lakeview, Review, Dihedral Chute, Dihedral Face, Jello’s Bowl and Nice Chute. Black Iron Bowl, named for an old mining claim, is an excellent addition to the existing inbounds hike-to areas of Bald Mountain and Prospect Ridge, where advanced skiers and boarders enjoy fresh tracks virtually all season. The gate to Black Iron Bowl will close promptly at 2:00pm daily in season.Estimated hike time:Genivieve: 5 - 10 minutes*Lakeview: 20 - 25 minutes*Mountain Quail: 30 - 45 minutes*

Gold Hill Chutes

Gold Hill Chutes 1
To ski this epic chute on the flip side of Revelation Bowl, you can access it one of two ways. 1) Through the gate at the top of Revelation Bowl Lift (15), or 2) Traverse across the top of Little Rose and Andy' s Gold, through the gate adjacent to Andy's Gold. The chute will not be open continually, so check for current information on the signs before go. The expert-only chute directs you away from the cliffband by taking you to the traverse to skiers right and back to Andy's Gold. You can also egress via the new goat trail traverse into Gold Hill 1.5 and into The Fans and the egress from Black Iron Bowl and Palmyra basin.The Gold Hill Chute 1 will close promptly at 3:00pm daily in season.

Gold Hill Chutes 2 - 5
NEW FOR THE 2009-10 SEASON! This newly opened terrain completes the Gold Hill expansion. To access, stay left off of Revelation Lift (15) and continue up the new Gold Hill access road. Enjoy the grand vistas before skiing the 1900' vertical feet to the base of Prospect Bowl or Gold Hill lifts. The chutes will not be open continually, so check for current information on the signs before you make the hike.The Gold Hill Chute 2 - 5 will close promptly at 1:30pm daily in season.Estimated hike time: 15 - 20 minutes*.

Gold Hill Chutes 6 - 10

Chutes 6 - 10 will not be open continually, so check for current information on the signs before you make the hike. The expert-only chutes go down below the skyline saddle and dump into Palmyra basin below.The Gold Hill Chutes 6 - 10 will close promptly at 1:30pm daily in season.Estimated hike time: 20 - 30 minutes*.

Palmyra Peak
On the heels of Telluride’s opening of Black Iron Bowl to public access, the resort has gained approval for skiing and riding Palmyra Peak this winter. Located east of Black Iron Bowl, this unbelievable hike-to terrain includes well over 200 acres and almost 2,000 vertical feet on the north face of 13,320 foot Palmyra Peak.What can be considered some of the most spectacular in-bounds terrain in the country, the runs Tram Shot, Sunrise and Electric Shock drain into Upper Moraine, and Lower Palmyra Ridge which lead back into Black Iron Bowl.The access gate to Palmyra Peak (located at the upper edge of Mountain Quail) will be closed promptly at 1:00pm in season. Estimated hike time: 1 - 1.5 hours past Black Iron Bowl*.

Dwight and Fedorka Invest in the Future of TREC

Dwight and Fedorka Invest in the Future of TREC
by Seth Cagin
Mar 03, 2010

TELLURIDE – Displaying confidence in the future of both Telluride and of one of the region’s biggest real estate companies, Jon Dwight has acquired a larger share in the Telluride Real Estate Corp.

“This economy has been a tough go for every business, and I’ve only seen TREC grow stronger through this,” Dwight said. “We’ve really reinvented TREC and that gave me the confidence to move forward.”

Dwight becomes one of five directors at the company, along with T.D. Smith, Steve Catsman, Steve Hilbert and Buzz Fedorka.

The block of stock became available after two longtime TREC directors, Dave Flatt and Don McLean, retired. Not only did Dwight purchase some of the stock, but at the same time Fedorka doubled his stake in the business.

Dwight first joined TREC in 2002 and was named a TREC vice president in 2006.

“Jon was already my partner in our airplane so I obviously had a lot of respect for him”, explained Hilbert. “He will be a great business partner for the same reasons he is a great plane partner. He is smart, talented, driven, and trustworthy.”

“I am thankful to the ownership group for giving me this opportunity,” Dwight said.

“TREC has provided me with the foundation to create a very successful real estate business for myself,” he added. “This is my opportunity to give back to the company that has helped make me successful.”

Fedorka explained his confidence in the future by citing the impact that the Telluride Capella has already had in bringing new visitors to the region, the benefits from ongoing expansion of the Telluride Ski Area, the new local ownership of The Peaks, and the near-completion of a new runway at the Telluride Regional Airport, which could produce new commercial service.

“I think our community is uniquely positioned to really grow in the next decade,” Fedorka said. “The satisfied customers I met who stayed at Capella are a pleasure to meet – many of these people are going to turn into property owners. The ski area’s constant expansion and improvement is a real inspiration. The most recent staircase and bridge is a fantastic addition and great for our prestige.

“And I can’t tell you how happy I am that The Peaks is now locally owned.”

TREC has shown growth over the previous year each of the last four quarters, Dwight said. Both showings of property and closings are up. “

It will be a slow recovery,” he predicted, “but we are seeing signs of it.”

36 Hours in Telluride, Colorado

By LIONEL BEEHNER
Published: February 28, 2010

TELLURIDE almost begs comparisons with Aspen. A Colorado mining town affixed to a world-class ski resort; rugged locals brushing elbows with the occasional celebrity; white tablecloth restaurants serving up foie gras next to taco dives. “It’s like Aspen was back in the ’70s, but less pretentious,” said Bo Bedford, a self-described Aspen refugee who is a manager at the New Sheridan Hotel. “It hasn’t gone Hollywood yet.” There is, of course, a certain star-studded film festival. And Telluride does count Jerry Seinfeld and Tom Cruise among its regulars. Yet, the town stays true to its hardscrabble roots. Dogs roam off-leash, folks rummage for freebies at a so-called Free Box, and residents zip up in flannel instead of fur coats.
