Telluride is often described as one of the most beautiful places in the world, situated
within a box canyon and surrounded by majestic Rocky Mountain peaks. Our environment
is also our livelihood, and we intend to apply strong moral and ecological ethics
to the stewardship of our natural resources, while taking a leadership role in the
heightened environmental education and awareness of our guests, community, and employees.
The Telluride Ski & Golf Resort’s environmental work has evolved through the
years to cover a broad range of conservation initiatives and educational endeavors.
The well-balanced program has won acclaim within the ski industry, including the
National Ski Area Association’s Golden Eagle Award for Environmental Excellence,
the Regional Forester’s Caring for the Land Stewardship Award, and certification
in Audubon International’s acclaimed Cooperative Sanctuary System program for golf
courses. Telski collaborates with the United States Forest Service, the surrounding
Telluride and Mountain Village communities, as well as San Miguel County, to together
find solutions that will sustain the region’s economic, cultural and environmental
health.
