Early Storm Dumps 18 Inches of Snow on Telluride!
According to the Telluride Ski Resort:
"Telluride, CO – Oct. 25, 2010 – Local skiers and boarders in Telluride awoke this morning to the first heavy snowfall of the season. With the storm total at 18 inches mid-mountain and more up on top of Palmyra Peak and Revelation Bowl, the season is off to a good start. Snow covered the surrounding peaks and top of the resort a few times over the last couple weeks, but last night’s storm dropped several inches all the way to town.
“We’re thrilled with the early season snow and looking forward to a fantastic year,” said Telluride Ski & Golf CEO Dave Riley. “With snowmaking underway and our summer projects nearly complete, including new runs, dinners at Alpino Vino via Snow Coach, and new retail, plus the returning World Cup and a feature in Warren Miller’s Wintervention, we are ready for winter.” "

Telluride's Top Ten Autumn 2010
Ten good things about Telluride and Telluride real estate:
1. The stock market showed unbelievable September gains; biggest since 1939.
2. By November, Telluride Airport may have approval for evening flights.
3. TelSki ski area expansions and the Powder Magazine article may create a “new buzz” for Telluride as this season’s best ski destination.
4. Two new festivals added this summer: the Photo Festival and the Horror Festival.
5. Telluride Ski and Golf have been given approval to expand and improve the existing snowmaking system ($7M+). This project will allow Telski to upgrade and enhance the existing snowmaking system it is now using to improve early season snow conditions. “With these improvements Telski will be able to offer a better early season experience to guests of the ski area and that benefits the local economy and the community,” said District Ranger Judy Schutza. With better snowmaking in place, Telluride could be in the running to host a World Cup event.
6. Riverwatch Condo closing at $1,100 sqft; mirroring the same caliber as Element 52.
7. Continental & United Airlines Merger – Telluride Airport will be able to accommodate more Q400 NextGen aircraft as airport improvements continue through November. The Q400 also has new improvements and will be further enhanced with the introduction of larger overhead bins that will accommodate standard roller bags. Combining these features with the Active Noise and Vibration Suppression (ANVS) system will give the Q400 NextGen aircraft passenger an even more pleasant cabin experience.
8. The numbers are in, and summer tourism was up.
9. Real estate values are coming up; buyers could begin to see returns on their investments.
10. With the fall season upon us, the Telluride area is the most beautiful place on earth!

Telluride Exposed!
Telluride has recently been in the ski press and will be featured in a new Warren Miller film, called “Wintervention.” You can view a teaser for this film at the following link: http://vimeo.com/14617132.
In the October issue of Powder Magazine, there is a 12-page feature story about Telluride, called “Rising T-Ride: The Second Coming of America’s Greatest Backcountry Resort.” If you’d like a copy of the entire article, send me an email and I will forward you a PDF copy. The article touches on some of Telluride’s colorful history, including the old mining days and the earliest days of the ski mountain, which opened on December 22nd, 1972. The article also mentions that in the three years since Dave Riley, the CEO of the Telluride Ski Resort, came on board, he has opened “more than 350 acres of jaw-dropping sidecountry, increased access to thousands of acres of backcountry and added a lift to access it in a purposeful campaign to restore T-Ride’s reputation as one of the baddest mountains in the West.” The balance of the article offers fantastic photography. As they say, all publicity is good publicity!

Fall Tilt in Telluride!
News Release from the Town of Mountain Village:
The leaves are turning, the days are shorter, and the air is a bit cooler. This all translates to one thing: it’s fall time in the mountains, and the end of bike season. For those who aren’t quite ready to put their bikes away just yet, Mountain Village has you covered. The second annual Fall Tilt in Telluride returns to the San Juan Mountains, September 24 and September 25.
“We expect to see some of the region’s best and toughest riders participate in Fall Tilt, and showcase their endurance and strength,” said Mountain Village Community Relations Manager Nichole Zangara. “After talking to riders who participated in the Mountain States Cup Series event, Full Tilt, the San Juan backdrop is pretty unbeatable. I can’t think of a better way to end one’s bike season than riding killer terrain while soaking in some of the most jaw-dropping scenery imaginable. We are expecting a solid turnout for this event, and some of the fastest speeds ever.”
As far as the race goes, it works like this: The race is capped at 75 on-course riders, which translates to over 100 competitors on race day. There will be mandatory practice Friday and race day is Saturday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.; riders will utilize the gondola both days. The winners of each class and category are determined by the total number of laps completed in a 12-hour period. There are no ties. CJ Sports Timing will time every lap of every rider to determine the winners just in case there is a tie in the number of laps. Riding after dark will require the use of approved front-mounted bike lights. If a rider intends to run the last hours of the race and doesn’t have an adequate lighting system, they won’t be allowed on the course.
Currently, Fall Tilt registration is available online at BikeReg.com, and it will end Thursday, September 23 at 6 p.m. After that, a $20 on-site registration fee will apply. Participation fees range from $75 to $175, and include event registration, race plate, on-site hospitality, event after-party, and a guaranteed good time. Classes and categories include open and amateur solo and duo teams. Team class is based on best-rider-on-team skill level and only one rider per duo team is allowed on the course at any given time. As for that pretty cash purse, it stands at $2,000 minimum, and that amount will only move north as open class registration numbers increase. Cash will be paid to top finishers – first, second and third – in the open class and for all categories. The top amateurs from each category will walk away with a new riding ensemble, courtesy of DAKINE. And last, but not least, at the awards ceremony every rider will have the opportunity to win a killer gift, compliments of the event’s sponsors.
Fall Tilt Venue
The Fall Tilt race course, all within the Mountain Village Bike Park, is comprised of four adjacent downhill trails that will be utilized simultaneously from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Terrain will vary from rocky, technical riding on the World Cup course to flowing, slower riding on a “recovery” trail or two. It is up to the rider’s discretion as to which trail they will use for each downhill lap. To keep the course safe for the riders and spectators, the race course will be taped and marked, closed to the general public, and patrolled and marshaled. Tech support tents and support staff will be available near the vicinity of the finish line; riders are responsible for their own repair and equipment replacement.
