Been waiting for this one
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Great video as usual! hope you guys get one for taos soon. im skiing at northstar at tahoe next week. first time this season!
Spot on!!!
Always appreciate these videos! Would love to see a ranking for Whitefish Mountain Resort and Schweitzer!
Snow issues when I was there but still one of the top skiing experiences of my life. So beautiful. I’m trying to recall how I afforded it in college. $$$. Awesome in the summer too. Great mountain biking.
1 of the better days in my life memories
Riding telluride
Terrific review! Next level with every detail that you'd need to know. You really do your homework, thank you.
Do Jay Peak and Stowe
I skied telluride for the first time last season. It’s now one of my all time faves and is worth the arduous journey to get there. The surrounding mountain scenery (especially if you drive to the south or the northeast) is nothing short of stunning, rivaling places like Chamonix IMO. The big downside, I found, is the lodging expense. Telluride is super expensive but I found reasonably priced accommodations 45 min away in the beautiful town of Ouray. If you want to rub shoulders with celebrities and hedge fund managers and get some good skiing in while you do it this is the place to go.
The hike only terrain looks pretty good
Pretty much agree with this ranking for a change(although I rate To-Hell-U-Ride above Beaver Creek and Snowmass mostly on town/aesthetic). Now if Telluride just got more, consistent snow it would be up there with AltaBird and Jackson
I will be skipping it. Too much $$$$.
If theres no lift lines during the week , I'm there!! I just got done with 2 days at vail and sat on a lift with another person exactly 5 times..>Early season is great in CO right now.
Ello
Im extremely fortunate to have an Uncle who lives in Steamboat Springs, CO so i get to go out there and ski with free lodging every year. Id love to see yall do a video on that mountain to see how it ranks compared to the others on the list.
Awesome video! Does anyone know if you can get from the town side of the mountain to the mountain village side without taking any black diamonds or the gondola?
