#Skiing #Telluride #Review #Guide #Colorado - Спорт
Good video. I agree. I liked Prospect bow lift the best too. But I do appreciate the ability to hike. We hiked up and did LA Rosa. I love Telluride. It has tons of advanced terrain, which I prefer. This is hands down my favorite ski respite. Not just the skiing, but the mining history of the town and in summer I can do Black Bear Pass in my Jeep. Thanks for sharing.
I am a local and i have a few tips. If you are a good enough skier I highly recommend finding someone that looks like they are in there 60s and wears old cloths and who’s skis are beat up. Once you have follow them to the best snow on the mountain. They may go through small double black areas with ease and out ski you in every way, but if you are up for the challenge they will always go to the best snow. And you dont need to be afraid to ask someone who looks like a local for directions to find good powdery snow here. We do realize that the reason we have a free gondola is because of tourists so 90% of us are glad to show you around. Oh and if you find a kid around 15 with a green jacket and blue DPS ski’s that’s probably me so say hi if you see me.
I’m certainly looking for different run types than you were, but the terrain at Telluride is top class for me. I also like that most zones were ability separated, it keeps the experts from flying through beginner areas.
Oh hey! My fiancé and I can be seen on Bushwhacker at 11:54 for the next few (blue coats). Thanks so much for the video that we can use to remember these great ski days!
Wow what a coincidence, that's great!
I haven’t been to telluride in 3 years and loved it I hoped nothing changed because I loved the way it was so I’m happy to see not much changed 😅
Sick Review and breakdown had me and my Queen Laughing, very good Quality, I Did one in Spanish but not as good as yours, you Made some very good points, Good Job.
Hey thanks!
This was a great video I went skiing for the first time last Christmas in telluride and I’m going back again this Christmas and I can’t wait
Go Alley -
Allais (ah lay) is a form of the French verb “to go”.
Allais Alley is said “ah lay ah lee.”
You might hear some say, “allais allais” meaning “go go” in encouragement of a bicycle racer at the Tour de France.
They added the high tech ticket scanners last year and also they
Changed lift 9 or plunge lift to a high speed detachable quad
Great breakdown, Ronnie - really appreciate the effort and feel like it helped me prep for my first time on the slopes at Telluride!
Glad it helped!
Great video Ronnie. I'm headed to Telluride in late February and I've been looking for a mountain guide video to help plan my time sking. No moguls for me. I don't need my spine compressed!
Great breakdown!! I liked the video. Super valuable content here.
going there next weekend! just got a lot of snow so i cant wait to get there. too bad i see temps in the 40s after the storm.... also, tip to getting around the mountain quickly: go up chair 9, then instead of turning right, turn left. then go down woozlys way which sadly is always kind of icy, but you can get to chair 5, prospect bowl, etc. i have to agree with the statement about misty maiden. it is definitely the best run on the mountain.
edit: they are replacing chair 9 with a high speed this summer. its one of the best areas of the resort when they have good snow, so that's where i would recommend. also chair 5 is very good too. i would recommend chair 12 the most though
I’m trying to work out where to ski in either Utah or Colorado when I visit the US next winter. This video was super helpful. Nice work!
Do both~
Aspen Highlands, T-ride, Crested Butte, Wolf Creek- Colorado
Snowbird/Alta, Snowbasin, Solitude-Utah
Enjoy the Natl parks in- between the states, it's mostly summer in the desert if the sun is shining!
Nice breakdown of the Mountain. Thank u i havent made it out here yet but soon i hope
I went here a couple years ago, first time skiing. Double Cabin was my jam it was fun to do and made me learn a lot, went to a couple blues after and that was it. Then got some gummies in my because Colorado.
Great review.
Oak street lift serves letting people up to lift nine on a lunch break when you have an hour to go ski if you work in town, it’s great for that and just that lol
This was an amazing video. I would love to see a video of this detail and candidness for every ski mountain out there. Definitely give it a 9.0 out of 10. This took a lot of editing I know because I've done videos like this. Few cuts get it under 25 minutes and it would have been a 10 out of 10. But in all honesty, again, excellent video! We are going to be there in a couple weeks and I feel like I have 80% of what I need to be successful on the mountain now.
Glad you liked it and thanks for the feedback!
Nice vid been thinking about going
Great job, Ronnie. Gave me the feel of being with you guys from the safety and warmth of my home. Great skiing by all of you. Glad Andrew was in so many shots.
Ha, thanks! I almost stuck a "nice turn, Andrew!" tag on his turn at 28:09. Very professional.
Tech has definitely improved. RFID epic pass does work now.
Thanks so very much!!!
You didn't like chair nine but then didn't even go on the best runs... (log pile, captain jack etc)
log pile baby!!!
Ronnie heading back to Telluride this year for a second year in a row! Stoked! Some additions they have made this year are the RFID passes and the new plunge lift on 9. So the improvements seem to be coming. I agree with everything you said being an intermediate snowboarder myself.
Ya I had heard they were replacing lift 9 but wasn't sure if it's be in this year. If so that could be a game changer over there!
@@RonnieBunshaft Yup lift 9 expected on opening day Nov 24
Plunge (or 9, as all the lifts go by their numbers to the locals) is almost every locals favorite lift (the other choice is usually 14), so hearing you say you didn't like it is kinda funny.
I was 12 when i first did palmyra and there is only one slightly sketchy rock to get over
Wow, Telluride is where I learned to ski in the 70's. Haven't been there since about 1980. Talk about different. I thought I wanted to go back and see it some day. I don't think so. The base area is now depressing. It was only a parking lot back then, with a little lodge to get your tickets and leave your lunch bags by the windows in the cafeteria to come back and eat later. Oh well. I think there were seven lifts back then. Named 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7! Food was available on the mountain. You could buy baloney sandwiches, a bag of chips and a can of coke at the bottom of 5(?) chair. Loved that place.
The actual hike for Palmyra is much more bark than bite. A few steep sections and you’re good :)
About tellurides town- the government won’t let them expand because of toxic waste from decades of mining there, which created the need for “offset ponds” or something? Basically massive zones on each side of the town which all the toxic waste is breaking down in. Hopefully someday it’ll be safe enough to expand.
Interesting, thanks for the info!
Let me help. The open space was slated for over-development to a degree that would overwhelm the area's drinking water and waste water capacity, and would pollute the canyon. The local population voted to condemn the land and place into a conservation easement. The land was valued. The money was raised, and as a result, the wetlands are being restored. The local wildlife are the neighbors.
Well yes and no. The mines created massive tailings piles and did pollute the water but with the use of around 6 big settling ponds under the water fall the water comes out clean the real reason they cant expand is much more simple
Its a box canyon with cliffs on 4 sides there is more space but the town bought this area right next to the town we call it the valley floor and the town keeps it as a sort of wildlife preservation area i could go into the history of them buying it for 50 million a long time ago but it would take to long
@@chrissmith6675the valley floor is actually very natural as is but they did have to remove a few things. 1 a small tailings pile that was turned into a kind of bike jump park that me and my friends used go to and they had to also make the river more winding because apparently it was straightened years ago
You went down genevieve. Not westlake or lakeview. Also, have to disagree with your palmyra point. There are days where 100+ people go up through the palmyra gate skiing off of it.
One of the most inspiring lines off of Palmyra is to the skier's right. It's seared into my memory.
there's plenty of video evidence for an almost unending line of extreme skiers hiking all the way to the top of palmyra, but it's a 2.5 hour hike up a near vertical ascend wearing ski boots and carrying gear on your back. I would say he's close when he puts the population at around a fraction of 1% percent of people who ski/board. but it's definitely not empty. it's not even out of bounds. and it has a ski patrol dude at the top. and if you did it as a percent of ppl who go to telluride? well...iunno. 10%-20%? maybe more? the mountain is really an advanced and expert destination. I cannot imagine ppl flying across country to do intermediate and beginner runs they could get at any local resort in any area in north america. 😄
19:19 that's a really nice shot! Overall, you provided a great review covering a lot of relevant aspects of the resort. Not in love with the music in between your narrated segments. Maybe it's just my system but it's way louder and I had to keep changing the volume to turn it down or you up. Great job though for someone with 404 subs. Make that 405.
First time going to Telluride, this is, by far, the best video I´ve seen so far...thanks!!!!!
Great video man! Keep it up! Thank you
You’ve done a great job on these reviews 👍
Great video. Hope you do many more in this style
Personally, I really like the lack of RFID and actual lifties scanning passes with actual smiles.
Fair to interact with people, and they can certainly continue having folks in line helping coordinate the alternating of people from the lines and whatnot. But barcode scanning just seems like unnecessary work for everyone at this point.
@@RonnieBunshaft oh for me it's the opposite. I get soannoyed when rfid won't work. Lifties doing it for you seems more like an upscale personal touch to me. Have it outside your jacket and they do all the work. Nice and easy, more so than rfid unless it's super busy then rfid is more.efficient.
@@davidgreenwood6029 True I have stood like an idiot at some other mountains when it doesn't work. But now I'm used to just having my pass inside the special shoulder pocket in my coat. For others if they still do this when you go, I'd recommend stepping inside a shop or the ticket office and getting an attachment for your epic pass on the outside as David suggests. I was stubborn and kept unzipping my pocket every time.
Thank you for the video Ronnie. Nice work. Going week of 03/04. Would you recall the run at minute 29?
That's to the right off the top of the Prospect lift. Right where Galloping Goose turns into Madison. It's a double green but there was definitely enough of a lip there to get some air if you wanted. Have fun!
For the 3rd steepest point on this mountain with a short hike off of lift 12 there is a hike to run about 30 minute hike and it is called Dihedral i am not sure if it is on trail maps but it is the run that is 1 hill before mountain quail
I’m curious what your go to mountain is just so I can add it to my list 😏. Nice job with the video; I’m at telluride now and it’s been helpful.
Well I'm still trying to hit all the big names in the US. My favorite ever so far has been Zermatt-Matterhorn in Switzerland but that's not particularly easy to get to. I was very impressed by Big Sky in the US and while that is the leader here right now, I'm heading to Park City in a few weeks and am hoping that takes the crown!
Try Snowbird, Jackson Hole, Beaver Creek (on a good day), Vail, Alta, and Solitude. Park City mountains don’t receive as much snow as the cottonwood canyons, their seasons are shorter, but more amenities than the resorts in the cottonwood canyons.
If you are going back into town I recommend going down T Trail and before the first switch back you will see a mogul run going straight down the side of the mountain take that it is a great double black that never sees the sun so it is always soft because it doesn’t go through the freeze thaw process and off to the sides in the woods there are a few cliffs ranging from 10 to 20 feet so small but still good if you like cliffs as much ad me
On lift 9 the trees on either side of Bushwacker are usually either un tracked or near un tracked
The houses remind me of "the colony" at Park City Mountain.
Awesome ski videos! Would love to see your take on whitefish, Alyeska, or anywhere on the east coast. Subbed
You say you want to see the top of Palmyra even if you have to take the easy way down. The reason there is no lift up to Palmyra is because there isn’t an easy way down from up there. But it’s still very much part of the resort experience. You see dozens of people hiking it every day when it’s open.
Can you comment the airbnb link to the place that you stayed?
Sure, it was this one: www.airbnb.com/rooms/48539128 We were pretty happy with it!
You didn't like the Plunge lift? That's my favorite part of Telluride. I live in Vail, and make the 4.5 hour drive multiple times a year because of how much better it is compared to here.
For beginners and intermediate skiers, which lifts are the ones to stick to?
I would recommend all under lift 6 aka apex lift for some easy double blacks that are always fun and have great snow if you know where to go
Btw just a warning dont do these easy double blacks and think thats as hard as it gets and I wouldn’t recommend going any higher if your a tourist without somebody with you for support
Everyone over 13 that lives in telluride has done palmyra at least once
Really great video
Thanks!
ONLY FOR EXPERIENCED SKIERS
If you are up for one of the biggest challenges on the mountain try to hike to palmyra and if you want you can get out of the hike before hand about. 1/3 of the way upby taking mountain quail
Bro that wasn’t Lakeview that was Genevieve, don’t think lake view is that close you have to enter another gate and go up a steep hump to get to Westlake and another hump to get to Lakeview and dihedral chute then up another hump to get to mountain quail. Hope this helps
lift 9 is all about the trees, imo all the good skiing at telly is in the trees off th
e groomers
Lifts 7 & 8 are actually the best part of the mountain in my opinion. Funny that you poo-poo some of the best terrain pods and lifts.
What camera do you use and if it is a gopro what settings do you use?
Hey there, I took this footage with a gopro 10 without modifying any of the more technical image settings. What I do tweak is the field of view and stabilization settings. This is mostly superview fov as wide as it can go. And I believe I also had the max camera lens mod on here to increase it even further. But the key is really as much stabilization as you can get. You move around a lot whole skiing and no one wants to watch shaky footage.
Would u say dropping into the relevation bowl is easy on majestic for mostly a blue to double blue skier
I wouldn't call it easy. Karthik preferred the same as you at the time and we definitely took our time moving down it with him. Maybe if there's more snow it would even out but it was patchy for us and that strong wind removed most of the loose snow. The plus side is that this area is so big that you could make truly massive switchback turns if you don't mind touching the moguls. It doesn't have to be steep if you don't want it to be. So I think you could make it down but I'm not sure if you'd really enjoy the area.
me and a few other 15 year olds did black iron bowl and gold hill hikes no training its not "for show" buddy
Telluride fixed the pass/lift pass thingy
Nice, glad to hear it!
I have never skied before is this a good place to go
You'd be fine as a beginner as they have areas for that but it's definitely overkill to travel there for your first time if you don't have experienced friends or family already wanting to go.
@@RonnieBunshaft thanks
Btw i am a local of telluride and i want to say dont fly directly into telluride it is expensive and the plains are so small that over the mountains you will most likely get a lot of turbulence like you’ve never seen before anyway just fly into montrose
Oh and dont come here until after new years because up till Christmas we have like 20 runs open and between Christmas and new years it is way to busy
To be honest on the most busy days here it is less busy than Aspen or Snowbird by a lot
There are never lift lines here at all usually they send chairs up most lifts empty after new years
Btw if you read this we kinda want to keep the mountain more local after new years so dont tell to many people about it
And if you see a 15 year old with a green jacket and blue DPS ski’s it’s probably me so say hi if you want :)
If your a tourist looking for a food photo go to joint point on see forever
So they charge you 200 bucks a day but don't have the funds to groom all the pistes everyday? WTF?
Run by scum, but the views and steeps are real.
Only ski here if you get free passes, it's not too hard to manage if you are genuine ~
Dude they won’t put a chair into palmyra peak because it’s a horrible avalanche area, as someone who has skied gold hill chute 9 and 6 I know how that basin is, it would be impossible to put a lift there and pointless. It will close probably all the time because of avalanches and you also said they should put a chair up palmyra peak but they can’t do that because it’s too steep and the runs of it are dangerous and avalanche prone. Don’t say all this stupid stuff because it doesn’t make any sense
Im a local and i want to tell all tourists to please stay off dynamo, millions and electra. Unless you are a accomplished skier these runs are not hard but they are intimidating.
100% stop with grinning skull face coverings. Good video though,
NFC chips have been in office building turnstiles and door access readers for a QUARTER OF A CENTURY. If you can't wand or gate scan your skiers, you are clownish joke of an operation. WTF is the deal with Telluride?
My god.....whine,whine,whine. Have you considered skiing may just not be for you.
what are you talking about?
