And so....finally after years of trying to get out west (from the east) its going to happen. After a long time searching info and trying to decide I chose Telluride for a mid March trip.
Hope I made the right decision. Mid march conditions? suppose to be realy good there. Crowds? not suppose to get flooded with spring breakers like other resorts. Scenery? suppose to be one of the nicest in the Rockies. Tell me if any that is flat out wrong please.
Also ...From what Ive read and understand its a great place to ski both more advanced and yet also offers good amount of easier and mid level runs almost anywhere on the mountain so a lessor skier like my wife can also enjoy the skiing and scenery while not just only from the very bottom of the resort like many other places.
My biggest struggle now is to decide between the town or Mountain Village. After reading many discussions and articles it seems I cant go wrong with either one. I lean towards MV because of its convenience as far as the main ski resort lodge/info/practicality itself. I do understand the town also does not exactly lack convenience.
FYI Im not looking for the party crowd. But I think the town maybe be prettier as far as viewing the surrounding peaks. Although we'd be skiing most days anyway. For some reason Im just a bit more fixed on MV. Im not really sure exactly why. What does anyone think about this and also about any my mentioned things above about telluride in general.
Also concerned about altitude sickness being we will be flying direct to Montrose and then right into the resort from basically sea level. I have been at altitude a few times and had no affect. But Im older now and my fam hasn't done this. I hear that pocket 02 cans are available to help. But it does concern me to make this expensive trip and then have myself or one of y fam members get ill. We don't plan on skiing the first day and figure give it a day at least before exerting ourselves and time to get acclimated. I know there is no crystal ball and every person is very different nor don't know if you can tell me anything I may not already read about and understand. But if you can offer anything it would be appreciated.
Thanks for any responses to all or any of this.
