Would have gave it 5 stars had it not been for the druggies who do other drugs than marijuana in the area, the stragglers who don't appreciate a beautiful & peaceful place. I worked at The Peaks Resort. Lived at Big Billies. It was Amazing back in 97'- 98' when I first came here. The town is HOME like. The food is Great, from the hidden local deli's to other places like Garfinkel's, The Swede Fin, The bakery by the Gondola, Baked In Telluride was always cool. The Peaks Resort has Great food!. The Gondola ride over the mountain is Incredible, especially at night. Telluride is another Hippie and nature loving paradise. Alot of festivals throughout the year. It IS pretty expensive to live here if you're not paying for housing by working at a nearby resort. Alot of wildlife, be careful of bears and mountain lions if you go hiking. I was stalked by a mtn. lion for 100 yards, just behind the town close to Bridal Veil Falls. Enjoy yourself here! Watch for deer and elk when driving.
Telluride is an attractive town.. architecturally, environmentally, and socially. the is only so much space for expansion, so that makes housing expensive. unless you are very rich, most younger workers settle for living with roommates. Families can live close by in Sawpit, Placerville, and Rico. the commute is gorgeous. These little hamlets have public transportation to Telluride, and your kids can go to the public school which is top notch. My kids like it better than the private school. on the surface, Telluride seems very liberal, yet there are many conservatives in town that are not so vocal. the local med center isn’t that great. Alright for a flu, but go to Montrose or Durango if you have more complex medical issues. leaving to a tropical place during off season is key, since the town shuts down. Tride was paradise 20 years ago.. but it is still pretty sweet today. It’s only other CO rival ski town is Crested Butte. Skiing is better here.
Telluride is a seasonal resort town, meaning that it is most economically active during certain seasons of the year. In this town's case, it is summer and winter. During the Summer, the town hosts multiple festivals, ranging everything from music to wine to films. At winter, the town's ski resort opens, which offers a number of runs eager to challenge skiers from different necks of the woods. Telluride also connects to its sister town, Mountain Village (Which offers its own host of activities for newcomers), via the only gondola lift of its kind in the US. Overall Telluride is one of the nicest places to live in Colorado. I will admit, the living costs are on the high end, but if you can make your way, it is totally worth it to live in.
