Advanced/Expert Skiing and Snowboarding (41%)
Adrenaline junkies beeline to Plunge (Lift 9) to conquer steep bump runs, such as Kant-Mak-M, Spiral Stairs and Mammoth. Some experts opt to ski or ride The Plunge, a classic run known for its breathtaking views of the town of Telluride. This jaw-dropping black diamond descends 3,140 vertical feet from the top of the mountain down to Telluride.

Intermediate Skiing and Snowboarding (36%)

While Telluride skiing and snowboarding are renowned for its steeps and bumps, 38 percent of the resort is intermediate terrain. Village (Lift 4), Palmyra (Lift 5) and Prospect (Lift 12) are perfect for intermediates, offering corduroy cruisers, glades, moderate bumps and short chutes. See Forever, Telluride's most popular intermediate trail, is just over three miles long, providing panoramic views all the way to Utah's La Sal Mountains.

Beginner Skiing and Snowboarding (23%)

With wide-open slopes and no lift lines, beginner skiers and snowboarders can learn the tricks of the trade in a friendly, low-pressure atmosphere. Sunshine (Lift 10), Ute Park (Lift 11) and Prospect Bowl (Lift 12) are beginner and lower intermediate's dreams with meandering green and blue runs that span nearly two miles. Beginners also enjoy the Galloping Goose, a 4.6-mile trail that gently works its way from the top of Prospect (Lift 12) down to Mountain Village.

LIFT TICKETS/PASS:

Telluride is part of the Epic Pass group. Purchasing an Epic Day Pass (i.e. 5 or 6 day lift ticket) early allows members to take advantage of lift ticket discounts compared to purchasing Group lift passes. 

Once purchased, the passes are not refundable or transferrable to another trip participant. Prices are based on current Epic Day Pass pricing and the trip price will be adjusted for any increases in the day pass price.

Trip participants will be required to purchase their day pass (i.e. lift ticket) as well as their $800 deposit when they register for the trip; however, both amounts will be deducted when calculating their balance payment due.

A Skican website link will be provided to the club to facilitate EPIC day pass purchases and deposits.

For any refunds resulting from a group cancellation, participants will receive refunds, net of non-refundable fees, on their credit card.

Travel Insurance:

NTSC and the Tour Operator strongly recommend you purchase trip interruption insurance to protect against financial losses/penalties in the event you are forced to cancel or your trip is interrupted (e.g. flight cancellations or delays). Trip participants who do not purchase travel insurance will be required to confirm they have other coverage or understand they are responsible to any costs associated with trip cancellation/interruption.

NEW THIS SEASON. USA and Europe trip participants are required to provide proof of travel medical insurance coverage. In the past, participants who did not have out-of-country medical insurance have placed an undue burden on Trip Leaders and Travel Committee Reps. Injuries do occur and it is unsafe and can be very expensive to not have out-of-country coverage. Coverage is also recommended for out-of-province travel.

Comprehensive Insurance coverage can also be added to a newly purchased policy. The premium is due with the deposit.

Further details are available on the website Travel Insurance page.

By completing the online registration, you are agreeing to the NTSC Travel Code of Conduct and waiving certain legal rights against NTSC. Please carefully read the NTSC Travel Code of Conduct and the Travel Waiver.
