In Telluride, Colorado, cars are hardly ever used. The town and the mountains are essentially one society or "ecosystem" of its own. The main streets have bars and restaurants ranging from barbecue and pub dinners to elegant 5-star meals.
New for this year is more snowmaking. Although Telluride is not known to have heavy line traffic for ski lifts, the more snow means more fun!
The steep terrain existing at Telluride allows for skiers to gain most out of their experience. Now with more snow being made, it can be both family/child friendly and speed racer equivalent.
For those individuals who have never skied before, or maybe only been on one or two trips in their lifetime, the Poconos might be a trip worth your while. The following resort is not listed on Forbes or U.S News magazine, but it is a personal favorite, and one that can be recommended to anyone of all ages!
Camelback Mountain
Camelback Mountain is not one of the most famous ski resorts, but it is a place with great reviews. There are sixteen lifts in total and thirty-four trails. Within these trails about 40% are dedicated to skiers at a beginners level.
Camelback is one of the few ski resorts in PA that offer 100% snowmaking on all one hundred, sixty-six acres of terrain! Unfortunately, only about ten percent of the trails are dedicated to skiers at expert level.
As a family oriented resort, these statistics are no surprise. With Camelback's mission being, "To live and breathe fun, Camelback style," safety would be one way to make sure all families enjoy every minute of their ski trip!
