The Telluride Ski & Snowboard School offers alpine, telemark, and
snowboard lessons for novice to expert abilities. It is located in the
Mountain Village Plaza near the base of the gondola and operates from
10:00 am to 3:00 pm. Ski groups should be no more than ten people, and
three years old is the minimum age for young children. Children are
supervised during lunch and the cost of lunch is included in the cost
of the lessons. There are some good deals for beginners taking ski
lessons at Telluride that allow you to pay one rate, which includes ski
lessons, ski pass and lunch, for a cost of about US$70 (compare this to
a regular adult ski ticket of US$65). Also, not associated with the ski
resort are a variety of companies that offer special instruction for
snowshoeing, Nordic skiing, snowmobiling, and ice climbing.
