TELLURIDE SKI RESORT WILL REOPEN 1/10/26
In a statement posted on Telluride Ski Resorts website, the following updated information is provided for guests regarding the Ski Patrollers Strike.
Telluride Ski Patrol Strike
We are pleased to share that Telluride Ski Resort and the Telluride Professional Ski Patrollers Association reached an agreement on January 8, and the strike has officially ended. On Saturday, January 10, the ski resort will open Lift 4 with more lifts and terrain to follow. Please stay tuned as more of the mountain opens as quickly as possible.
With fresh powder from a recent storm and operations resuming, it’s the perfect time to experience the mountain. Telluride’s legendary terrain boasts options for all ability levels, with breathtaking views at every turn.
Beyond skiing, guests can enjoy a wide range of winter experiences, along with a vibrant arts and culture scene. Exceptional shopping and dining abound, featuring independent boutiques and diverse culinary experiences to suit every palate.
Thank you for your understanding and continued loyalty. We look forward to welcoming you to our community and providing an exceptional visit.
Sincerely,
Telluride Tourism Board Team
