Celebrate Thanksgiving in Mountain Village

Categories: Community

There is a lot to be thankful for this holiday season! For starters, Telluride Ski Resort is opening on Thanksgiving Day for the first time since 2015! There's snow in the forecast for this week and forecasters are slating this winter to be an El Nino year which always bodes well for Southwest Colorado! Lift 4 and the Chondola (Lift 1) will open for the season on Thurs. Nov. 22 at 9 a.m. and the following trails will be open:

  • Village Bypass (from top of Lift 4 to Lower Boomerang)
  • Lower Boomerang (from Village Bypass to the base of Lift 4)
  • Upper & Lower Misty Maiden
  • South Meadows
  • The Meadows Learning Center
  • Peaks Trail
Be sure to download the ski area's new app to stay up-to-date on conditions, terrain and more! If you don't make it on the mountain, you can still work up an appetite with San Miguel County's annual Turkey Trot 5K Run/Walk in Illium Valley. The race starts at the intersection of Sunshine Road and CR 63L (Illium Road). Registration begins at 9 a.m. and the race starts at 9:30 p.m. Costumes are encouraged and dogs on a leash are welcome. After a long day of skiing, have Thanksgiving dinner at one of Mountain Village's fabulous restaurants. Altezza at the Peaks Resort will have a Thanksgiving Day Buffet from 1-9 p.m. Dinner is $60 for adults and $25 for children 12 and under. Call [phone](970)728-2525[/phone] for reservations. The Madeline Hotel will be offering a Thanksgiving Menu from 4:30-10 p.m. Dinner is $75 for adults and $35 for children. This year residents can also take advantage of Chef Will's Thanksgiving to Go Option including a full dinner for 6-16 people. Please call [phone](970)369-8949[/phone] for for information and reservations.
