With increased air service direct to the Gunnison/Crested Butte airport this season, there is no reason to stay away. www.skicb.com TELLURIDE One of the most dramatic and picturesque ski areas, Telluride’s old mining town, dating back to 1878, is set in a box canyon surrounded by massive 13,000 foot peaks. The charming Victorian town just eight blocks wide and 12 blocks long, features quaint homes and false façade storefronts. Nestled among majestic peaks at 9,500 feet is Telluride’s Mountain Village, featuring luxurious hotels, condominiums, restaurants, and boutique shops, placed amid meandering trails at the top of the free gondola which operates between town and the Mountain Village daily, from 7 a.m. to midnight.
