December saw record snow falls in the region. Many of you were lucky enough to be here for the holidays and big snowfall and some cold temperatures, which made for great Ice. Telluride was also shown in a fun and wonderful light at the premiere of Warren Millers Wintervention. Renowned local skiers talked about their passion for Telluride and the special and unique place we all love. In the film One long time local said, "telluride always delivers"-phenomenal skiing, great arts, European charm with a distinct American flair-a strong community that loves to have fun -Telluride!
