17 Days to Ski Season?

2009-11-09T07:00:00.001-07:00

The past few days have been too warm for snow making, and it looks like we'll have a few more warm days this week. We need some freezing cold snowy weather! The good news is that the Telluride Airport is open again. You may be able to see it if you enlarge the photo. It is kind of in the center in the distance.

This is a view of Sunshine Mountain and Wilson Peak while driving up Last Dollar Road through the Aldasoro Ranch area on the way to the airport.

SkyWatch Friday: Clear Blue Sky and Lingering Snow

2009-11-06T07:00:00.000-07:00

A lot of last week's snow has melted away with this week's warm sunny days. You can see the ski area on the right where the ski runs are holding some snow. Ajax Peak is in the center, which is the prominent mountain in Telluride photos from town.

I'm not going to complain about the sun we've had this week, though! I don't like it when it gets dark at 5:30 p.m.

Theme Day: Doorways

2009-11-01T00:00:00.000-06:00

Obviously these doorways are not in Telluride, but a couple of hours away in Mesa Verde National Park. For the City Daily Photo Theme Day, "Doorways," I chose photos of the doors in the cliff dwellings built by Ancestral Puebloans between A.D. 550 to 1300.

This cliff dwelling is appropriately named the Balcony House. The balcony in this photo is amazingly intact from so long ago.

Mesa Verde National Park is truly a magical place which I have visited many times since I was a child. It is a place rich with history and thankfully protected by the National Parks system.

Happy Halloween

The creepy dead skier waves his/her hand as you walk by! I thought this was cute and very creative. I took it these photos the day before the snow started.

Happy Halloween! Hope everyone enjoys lots of good candy.

SkyWatch Friday: Snowy Sky

2009-10-30T07:00:00.000-06:00

A little blue was trying to break through during the snowstorm on Wednesday. This weekend will be my first white Halloween!

Whistle While You Work

2009-10-29T08:46:00.002-06:00

This guy was actually whistling as he shoveled the sidewalk yesterday in front of Baked In Telluride. I wonder if he will still be whistling come January and February? For the first big snowstorm of the season, most people I encounter are happy and smiling.

Colorado Snowstorm

2009-10-28T13:11:00.003-06:00

Much of the state is getting a bunch of snow today and tomorrow! This is this morning at Ah Haa School For the Arts. The gondola is above and currently closed for the off-season.

My World Tuesday: A Bit of Snow

2009-10-27T07:00:00.000-06:00

We have had some snow in town this month, but it usually melts by the afternoon. Sunday morning we woke up to a winter wonderland. This snowfall hasn't melted off of the peaks, which is good news for the high elevation ski runs.

The Big Rock

2009-10-26T07:00:00.001-06:00

I normally wouldn't post a photo of a single rock, but this one seemed worthy of a photo because of the size and it actually has a name, The Big Rock. When you reach this rock on the Bear Creek Falls trail, you are almost to the falls!

Telluride Beaver Lodge

2009-10-25T07:00:00.001-06:00

The beavers have been busy in the pond near Town Park. They probably have more square feet in their lodge than a lot of condos in Telluride.

Ready For Halloween

2009-10-24T07:43:00.003-06:00

The houses that are decorated the most are usually the ones with the best candy for trick-or-treating.

SkyWatch Friday

We had a really warm Monday this week when we hiked up to Bear Creek Falls. There is not a lot of water in the falls this time of year.

Fall Foliage

These leaves are along the Bear Creek Falls trail. The colors made me think of Thanksgiving.

Telluride Townies

2009-10-21T07:00:00.000-06:00

I know I have mentioned before how wonderful our Wilkinson Public Library is. Not only is there a wide variety of books, music and movies, bicycles can also be checked out for free for four days with a library card!! It is easy to identify the Telluride Townie bikes since they are all the same shade of bright pink.
