Fast, Cheap, and Good in Telluride

The snow is blowing in with a vengeance today proving to all of Telluride that the ski season is not over yet. According to Telluride Ski Resort's website we've had five inches just in the past 24 hours. Since the snow didn't really start coming in until well after 6pm last night, I think we can safely say that most of the 5 inches of accumulation we have fell in the past 12 hours, and it's still coming down. With the new ski hill hours of 10am-5pm today promises to be the beginning of an excellent week for afternoon skiing. To start off your day on the hill, I highly recommend stopping by the Window- located at the base of lift 7. This morning the snow was quickly compiling, and the wind was blowing so cold I couldn't tell I had on a coat; on top of the weather, I accidentally left my gloves at home and my hands were freezing. In spite of my need to get inside as quickly as possible, I stopped at the Window this morning and tried a blueberry muffin- it was huge, full of bran, blueberries, and cinnamon, and it was even still a little warm in the middle- yumm.

Just perfect for a quick treat on a snowy day; in fact, my muffin was so good I forgot all about being a little cold. For about $7 including tip you can have a filling breakfast with a hot drink that is ready to be eaten while you're riding up lift 7 or walking to work (as I was). Remember that it is not too late to book your perfect ski vacation; we have everything from hotel rooms to homes available for the next few weeks, and if you're looking for a deal- from March 23rd to the end of season we have lift and lodging packages available starting at $99.50 per person per day.
