Telluride Ski Resort

I just looked again today and Yay! They put the prev, slightly older version back up here..and now we have a great app once again! They have moved the version number forward to 5.0..but in essence this is the same appearance, quick response, loaded with tons and tons of highly useful links app that I had like back in mid-November or so. All the webcams are working for me, the near-real-time lift and trail status seems like it’s working, the variable timing of updates, etc. The only thing I don’t use is the GPS tracking and aggregation of vertical feet skied..so not sure there. Telluride- thanks again for fixing this, and please leave this app format as is for remainder of winter season (unless something specific needs fixing). You done good! - DJ, local skier, season pass.

Once you understand the importance of this Spanish word at Telluride, you’ll understand how things work. You will hear this word a lot on the mountain, but it’s doesn’t mean what it means in Spanish. It means “on delay”, as in waiting for lifts and runs to open. There are many reasons why delays are so common, such as only starting bombing for avi control at 8:30am, unlike most ski areas that start hours earlier. It’s also because this is a big, complex mountain, situated in some of the most tricky avalanche country in the US. It also has to do with old equipment that fails every now and then (lift 10 is a great example). But hey, it’s not Vail! Lines are short, people are chill, and the views are some of the best in the WORLD.

Would be great to see telluride resort on the EPIC app! Lots more features there, and many that simply work better. Most of all tracking. Plus, it would be nice if EPIC riders and skiers could track their vertical feet in telluride, too. Other thoughts on this app: - Why does the tracking turn off so much? I skied 8 hours one day and it said I skied 4 runs? A bummer, because I like to review my runs at the end of the trip and compare to past. - When you are in the map, it’s difficult to get back to the main menu. You have to tap the bottom of the map just so. It basically looks/works like a PDF map. - Map often wasn’t most up to date resource. Didn’t seem to update consistently with latest lift updates, but the alerts did help. - Really loved the “Powcam” among the mountain cams! Fun to see how much powder we got from a storm or in a night.
