Telluride

Mountain

How big it is and what the skiing is like, each figure with its U.S. rank.

Lifts: the count the resort advertises; resorts differ on whether surface lifts and carpets are in it.

Telluride publishes three levels, so its top share counts advanced and expert terrain together. · · .

Snow and weather

The National Weather Service forecast for the summit and the base, and the snowpack measured nearby. Live: each figure gives its source and time.

Runs

Every run Telluride lists, to tick off as you ski them; the trail map above, drawn from OpenStreetMap, names them and turns the ones you've skied pink.

150 runs · 11 glades · 4 parks

Telluride’s Trail Status counter says 149

The resort’s own list, its trail map leading: every section it lists counts, traverses and roads too; carpets, learning areas, race courses and nordic tracks are left out, and parks are a list of their own.

    Lines, lengths and verticals where a run is drawn: © OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL, via OpenSkiMap (Sep 28, 2026); measured by Aurora from the mapped line, not the resort’s figures. On the map, glades and bowls are areas: OpenStreetMap’s own where it maps one, else drawn by Aurora around its line, edges approximate.
