Fall Climbing in Telluride, Colorado
Telluride is known for its skiing and ice climbing, but the rock climbing in the area is also excellent. From single pitch sport climbing on the Telluride Conglomerate to multi-pitch trad routes on the nearby Ophir Wall, there is plenty of good stone for a three or four day climbing trip.
Skiing the Snake Couloir on Mt. Sneffels
The imposing north face of the mountain is split by one of the most prized ski descents in Colorado, the Snake Couloir. Skiing the Snake is a testpiece for both locals and visiting skiers alike, because it requires mastery of all facets of ski mountaineering.
