(10 a.m.)
Keep the mountain safe by reporting unsafe skiers and riders. If you see someone riding recklessly, please call (970)728-7569. BE ADVISED A GREEN CIRCLE, BLUE SQUARE OR BLACK DIAMOND TRAIL AT YOUR AREA IS NOT NECESSARILY THE SAME AS A SIMILARLY RATED TRAIL AT TELLURIDE. THE SYSTEM IS A RELATIVE SYSTEM. YOU SHOULD WORK YOUR WAY UP, BEGINNING WITH THE EASIEST TRAILS NO MATTER WHAT YOUR ABILITY LEVEL MAY BE, UNTIL YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE TRAILS HERE AT TELLURIDE SKI RESORT.
Colorado Ski Safety Act
The Colorado legislature, recognizing risks are inherent in the sport, has passed the Colorado Ski Safety Act which provides inherent risks of the sport and relative responsibilities of the skier and the ski area. You must obey the act. Under the act, any person using the facilities of a ski area is considered a skier. A summary of the inherent risks is listed below: WARNING Under Colorado law, a skier assumes the risk of any injury to person or property resulting from any of the inherent dangers and risks of skiing and may not recover from any ski area operator for any injury resulting from any of the inherent dangers and risks of skiing, including: Changing weather conditions; existing and changing snow conditions; bare spots; rocks; stumps; trees; collisions with natural objects, man-made objects, or other skiers; variations in terrain; and the failure of skiers to ski within their own abilities.

Extreme Terrain contains cliffs, very steep slopes as well as rocks and other hazards. Skiing or boarding extreme terrain is for EXPERTS ONLY.
Freestyle terrain areas are designated with an orange oval and may contain jumps, hits, ramps, banks, fun boxes, jibs, rails, half pipes, quarter pipes, snowcross, bump terrain and other constructed or natural terrain features. Prior to using freestyle terrain, you are responsible for familiarizing yourself with freestyle terrain and obeying all instructions, warnings and signs. Freestyle skills require maintaining control on the ground and in the air. Use of freestyle terrain exposes you to the risk of serious injury or death. Inverted aerials are not recommended. You assume the risk.
Ski Area Boundary/Backcountry Warning
Telluride Ski Resort assumes no responsibility for the safety and welfare of anyone entering a closed area. Closures are marked by a sign with the closed symbol, by an orange and black rope, or both. Anyone entering a closed area or leaving the ski area boundary anywhere other than the designated access points, may lose their skiing privileges FOR 30 DAYS OR LONGER AT TELLURIDE AND OTHER SKI AREAS. Individuals may only access US Forest Service land from designated backcountry access points through gates that are located and managed at the discretion of the USFS. Location of the access gates may change at any time. Once a skier exits the ski area boundary, the ski area and its ski patrol have no duty to provide care and rescue services to anyone. Persons using the backcountry access gates assume any and all risks and dangers associated with backcountry access, including serious bodily injury and/or death. Violation of boundary policy will result in loss of skiing privileges and removal from the ski resort. Lift Safety. Be advised, a person cannot board a lift unless they have sufficient physical dexterity, ability and knowledge to use such lift safely, or until that person has asked for and received sufficient information to use the lift safely. No person may use a lift or any ski trail when under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Slow Zones. Certain areas (indicated in yellow on the map) are designated as SLOW ZONES. Observe all posted slow areas by maintaining a speed no faster than the flow of surrounding traffic. Fast and aggressive skiing will not be tolerated and may result in removal from the ski resort. Uphill In-season Access: Uphill access is only permitted from 8 a.m. – 4 p.m. on ski trails that are open to the public for alpine skiing in the Lift 10 “Sunshine Express” pod, with the exception of Sundance Ski Trail. Uphill travel terrain ends at the top of Double Cabins trail. Authorized uphill activities include nordic skiing, snowshoeing, uphill skinning, trail walking and running. After operating hours beginning at 4:30 p.m. Fat tire biking, uphill skinning, snowshoeing, trail walking, running and nordic skiing are permitted in the same area until 10 p.m. Users do so at their own risk. Uphill access on the rest of Telluride Ski Resort is prohibited. Uphill travel is prohibited in any other areas of the mountain and may be considered theft of services.
CAUTION – Deep snow or tree wells can expose you to the risk of snow immersion injuries or fatalities. Educate yourself on how to reduce the risks and ALWAYS SKI OR RIDE WITH A PARTNER. WARNING: Risk of avalanche – While snow safety and avalanche mitigation efforts help reduce the risk of avalanches, avalanches and snow slides may occur at ski areas, both inside and outside of the posted boundaries. Avalanches are a risk of the sport due to the nature of snow and its application on steep, mountainous terrain. Become educated on how to reduce the risk of injury or death from avalanches through your own actions and awareness. For additional information on the risks and prevention of avalanche-related injuries or death, visit avalanche.state.co.us.
Drones Prohibited.
Unmanned aerial drone use by guests or the media is prohibited without prior written approval of Telluride Ski Resort.
