Publisher's Notes Winter 1997

Welcome to Telluride, Colorado, one of America's most treasured resorts. Unquestionably beautiful and undeniably adventuresome, Telluride is a treasure-trove of natural and man-made wonders. It's a traveler's paradigm as it encases the charm and historic feeling of the Old World, the mentality and enthusiasm of the young-at-heart, and the wisdom and forethought of environmentally concerned citizens. Aside from this, our ski mountain is quite incredible too!

Allured to Telluride 12 years ago by its steep terrain, unbeatable bump runs and off-the-beaten track personality, Jeff and myself, fresh out of journalism/advertising schools, planned on living here for a very brief stint... I guess you could say the mountains got in the way. They seem to have a way of flowing through your very being. We can leave them for a week or two (three is pushing it); but never feel complete until the sights, sounds and fresh air of the San Juans as well as its people envelop us.

We are confident you'll find Telluride an enchanting vacation spot. We hope all the information compiled in TellurideStyle depicts its splendidness as well as gives a strong personality profile of the people who make up our town's unique character.

In planning your next vacation, request the premier issue of TellurideStyle's Travelogue. This publication will provide you with the area's accommodation and travel information as well as our jam-packed summer event calendar, travel advise from experts, airline schedules and more. We'd love you to come back or visit us for the first time! Have a grand time skiing, relaxing and soaking up the views.
