LocationTelluride, Colorado is a truly unique community. Located in beautiful southwestern Colorado, in the western San Juan mountains. Telluride is located near the headwaters of the San Miguel River in a box canyon. The communityTelluride is actually comprised of two towns. The Town of Telluride is the original victorian mining town nestled in the San Juan mountains in Colorado. It was a thriving mining commuinity since the 1800's until the 1950's when the mining died. It began to recover with the building of the Telluride ski resort in the 1970's. The town has a colorful history. The Town of Mountain Village began with the building of the ski area. It is located on the southwest side of of the ski mountain which divides the two towns. The first ski lifts were built where Mountain Village eventually developed. There is a unique, gondola system that connects the two towns. While many ski areas have gondolas that serve only for uphill transportation of skiers the Telluride gondola is a free public transportation system. Only skiers and snowboarders pay to use the gondola to access the slopes for recreation. ClimateTelluride has a typical Colorado mountain climate though somewhat milder than most Colorado ski towns.
