This season, the resort has sweetened its offer deal with multiday passes that offer 30 days of skiing.<\/span><span class=\"credit\">Colorado Ski Country<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><p>The Telluride Ski Resort has kicked in preseason pass deals this year, offering 30 days of free skiing for six= and 10-day buyers.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tellurideskiresort.com\/pricing-products\/winter-tickets-and-passes\/regional-sales-events\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">new deals<\/a> are intended to target the local market, said Telluride Ski Resort CEO Bill Jensen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe care about our communities, and we want local people to enjoy some extra days at Telluride. It\u2019s a great value,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Six-day and 10-day pass holders ski for free opening day through Dec. 18, and March 30 through closing day.<\/p>\n<p>Opening day is Nov. 28, and closing day is April 5. The deadline for purchasing the early season passes is Nov. 16.<\/p>\n<p>The six-day ($420) and 10-day ($630) passes are available only at regional sales events, or online for those who purchased a pass in the past three years.<\/p>\n<p>The next sale events are Nov. 2 at La Plata County Fairgrounds, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Nov. 9 at Dolores Ski Swap, Dolores Community Center, 8 a.m. \u2013 4 p.m.; Nov. 9-10 at Great Outdoors Co., 10 S.

We think it will be very popular,\u201d Jensen said.<\/p>\n<p>The project was completed in conjunction with the Uncompaghre National Forest to reduce wildfire danger, thin the forest and create a firebreak for the town of Telluride.<\/p>\n<p>The new glade area will be named next season after hearing feedback from the ski patrol and locals.<\/p>\n<p>Telluride received 6 inches of fresh snow Sunday night, and 2-3 inches are predicted for the next 48 hours. Snowmaking is ongoing, thanks to low temperatures.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is a good start. We are very optimistic for a great season,\u201d Jensen said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>30 days of skiing possible<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":64614,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5824,5786,5740,5737,5736,5735,5741,5909],"tags":[378,44,13,28,29,770],"naviga_topic":[],"class_list":["post-64613","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-alpine-skiing","category-dolores","category-frontpage-lead","category-headlines","category-local-news","category-news","category-newsletter","category-telluride-ski-resort","tag-alpine-skiing","tag-dolores","tag-frontpage-lead","tag-headlines","tag-newsletter","tag-telluride-ski-resort"],"acf":[],"author_name":"dh_admin","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64613","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=64613"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64613\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":91986,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64613\/revisions\/91986"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/64614"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=64613"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=64613"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=64613"},{"taxonomy":"naviga_topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/naviga_topic?post=64613"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
