I chose to revise this blog because surfing the web for
skiing stuff was always one of my hobbies. There’s constantly new cool stuff to
check out because there’s always snow somewhere that someone is skiing. I also
wanted to show you guys a really awesome mountain that’s really off the grid
and tucked away.

The mountain is Telluride.
I have traveled all around the west coast to a handful of
mountain’s and never once thought about or had heard about Telluride until
freshman year in college. Freshman year a kid who lived in my hall grew up in
Telluride and as the avid skier I am I inquired about the mountain. Turns out
that Telluride is a secret gem skied almost primarily by locals, and has been
described as ‘magical’, if you couldn’t pick that up in the video. It also
turns out that there is a porcupine named Stickers that hangs out at the top of the mountain introducing itself to everyone. Also one of the up and coming Free-skiing riders came from Telluride, his name is Gus Kenworthy. Gus is actually featured in the video above for a few short clips and recently placed in the 2012 Winter X Games. Telluride
still remains one of my favorite, however never skied, mountains.
