    Hot off the Epic Pass news reel is an extension to the long term partnership with Telluride Mountain Resort. Telluride and Epic pass joined forces in 2018 giving riders access to a mountain experience like nothing else on the Epic Pass resorts line up. Whilst the Epic Pass typically gives unlimited access to many of the resorts this partnership gives riders a taste of what some of the best riding in the country is like. 4 days in the perfect amount to explore Telluride and we are sure once you dip your toes in, you’ll be coming back the following season. Epic Pass Holders and Epic 4-7-Day with All Resort Access will receive access to ski or snowboard at Telluride. Telluride Mountain ResortTelluride ski resort is home to some of the wildest and most extreme inbound terrain as well as the second longest lift serviced vertical drop in Colorado. Initially home to an extremely colourful mining history the mountain town has been pumping since it was first founded in 1878. As the mining boom moved from many parts of the country the town was left wondering what they could possibly continue forth with to ensure visitors continued to make the journey into the mountains. In 1972 the first ski lift was installed, and it’s been non-stop growth ever since. During the 1980s Telluride ski resorts gained a reputation as Colorado’s best-kept secret which inadvertently made it ski resorts in Telluride quickly become a must visit destination. Fast forward to today and the mountain resort is a world-class year-round destination which well-heeled families and riders looking for extreme mountains flock each winter. Colorado’s San Juan Mountains boast some of ski country’s most incredible terrain, and Telluride is its mecca, stashed amongst the highest concentration of 13,000- and 14,000-foot peaks in North America. The breathtaking scenery is undeniably some of the most beautiful in the Rockies. Living up to its reputation for legendary terrain, Telluride has something for everyone. The Plunge, Revelation Bowl and Gold Hill offer plenty of steeps for experts. See Forever and Prospect Bowl provide ideal terrain for intermediates and the wide open, gentle slopes of The Sunshine Express and The Meadows start beginners off right while enjoying the endless scenery of the San Juans.

    Kitzbüheler Horn Summit Cable Car to Be Replaced After 70 Years

    Kitzbüheler Horn Summit Cable Car to Be Replaced After 70 Years

    A Tyrolean summit lift that has been carrying guests up the Kitzbüheler Horn since 1955 is on borrowed time. Its licence runs to 2045, but a new inspection rule has made refurbishment uneconomic, so Bergbahn AG Kitzbühel will spend around €15 million on a replacement on the same line. It should hold roughly 100 people and keep running in winds that would stop today’s lift. Building starts in autumn 2027, which makes this winter and next summer the last chances to ride the old one.
