Nordic Skiing
Nordic skiing in the Telluride region has exploded recently. There are more groomed kilometers of trails and more Nordic skiers than ever before. There are six Nordic skiing areas in the immediate vicinity: Telluride Town Park, the Valley Floor, the golf course in Mountain Village, the top of Chair Ten (TopAten) on the ski area, Trout Lake and Priest Lake. Each offer different terrain, varied lengths of groomed trail and excellent views.The Telluride Nordic Association, through charitable donations and fundraising efforts, manages the trails and posts a daily grooming report. Pets are permitted in Mountain Village, Priest Lake and Trout Lake. Please sign in when visiting Trout Lake and Priest Lake. Skier numbers are important to document for funding the Telluride Nordic Association.
The Nordic Center in Telluride Town Park offers cross-country rental equipment, trail maps for the area, and lessons.
