JANUARY 2, 2013
WHERE - Telluride, Colorado
WHEN - Sixth Ski Area in five states(not including our pass through Utah) in seven days.
WHY - The word on the hills is the skiing and scenery is spectacular. Agree in the "scenic" department.
WHO - Butch Cassidy apparently rob his first bank here. Current home away from home to the likes of Jerry Seinfeld, Tom Cruise, Ralph Lauren, Oprah W., Oliver Stone and other people.
WHAT - Lucked into a reasonably priced room (not our usual "coin operated bible" place) in a town where you could easily find and spend a couple of grand( CDN) (or was it U.S.?)a night for some ZZZZZ's. Our room was not only nice but walking distance to a excellent series of gondolas connecting most everything.
WE - liked but not loved the terrain. Lots of Fall-line skiing. Had better enjoyed the open /bowl areas of some previous resorts. The fresh snow that had been following us was starting to dry up. Not bad here, but Colorado needed snow.
WILDLIFE - Saw a small rodent like mammal.

No smiling. Some serious business down there
Some of the most dramatic scenery at any ski resort I've been to in the lower 48.

There was definitely plenty to ski but our like of the resort could have dramacticlly risen if "Revelation Bowl", over Hyla's shoulder was open. Above treeline skiing that we have been seeking out.
With Telluride below, this is what I call Hyla going "DOWNTOWN".
