Teddy Errico's Telluride Tales

Telluride was recently featured in an article in the New York Times Travel Section, called 36 Hours in Telluride. Great mentions of restaurants, like Fat Alley, the fabulous skiing, hardscrabble town atmosphere and more.

The article is a good one and very accurate, but please don’t be fooled by a comparison to Aspen, even in the seventies. They are very different. Aspen has glitz, 4 ski mountains, loads of people and car traffic. It’s what an ex-New Yorker, like myself calls the big city. Trust me I like Aspen, but if you come to Telluride expecting Aspen, you’ll be surprised at the difference. Telluride is laid back, has one terrific mountain, no crowds and a town that is easy to navigate. Real Estate prices are also 2 to 3 times (if not more) more expensive in Aspen as compared to Telluride.

Check out the article, but please stay longer than 36 hours. The writer must have been exhausted squeezing all of this in. Half of the fun of skiing in Telluride, is that it can be both exhilarating and relaxing, which is a tough combo to find on a ski trip.
