Traveling with Kids?

Children age five and under ski free but still require a ticket to access the lifts.

Ski & Snowboard Rentals

To rent or not to rent.  For first time skiers, we definitely recommend renting.  Each region has different snow conditions and each day as well!  So, for the best learning experience, renting is easier. There are rental shops located in Telluride and Mountain Village. Shops vary in pricing and services.

Airlines typically consider skis (or snowboards) as one piece of luggage and may be subject to fees.  Typically boots are not counted as additional luggage if they are bagged with your skis.

For everyone else, you decide if it is worth the extra cost and hassle of traveling with your ski gear.  Love your boots?  I totally understand.  Ski and poles only options are available at all of the rental locations.

Ski School

The Telluride Ski School has talented Pros who are able to work you whether you are a seasoned skier looking to hone your skills, or a newbie fresh off the beach trying skiing or snowboarding for the first time.

For beginner skiers, Telluride Ski School offers All Day Beginner Experience.  This package includes everything a beginner needs; lift ticket, equipment rental package and of course the lesson. There are amazing programs for kiddos at ski school.  Kids will have fun engaging with others their age and ability as they learn to ski or increase their confidence on the slopes. And parents can have time enjoying their runs as well!
