Improvements for this Season
Backcountry enthusiasts eagerly await the opening of Telluride’s new Revelation Bowl and Lift. With over 50 new acres of skiing, Revelation Bowl compliments the 2008's newly opened skiing in Black Iron Bowl, Palmyra Peak and Gold Hills 6-10.
Descending into the Revelation Bowl, skiers and riders will better understand the definition of ‘revelation’ as the stunning scenery will leave them breathless without exception. With each turn down the 800 vertical feet, the massive 2,000-foot rock wall on the opposite side of the drainage grows larger, reaching up to 13,472 foot La Junta Peak and 13,555 foot Wasatch Mountain. To the skier’s right, 13,446 foot San Joaquin Ridge keeps watch over the entire Bear Creek Basin, and to the skier’s left the town of Telluride peeks out 3,000 feet below, overlooked by the San Sophia range.
