Telluride....#3 on Forbes Top 5 Ski Resorts in U.S



When it comes to choosing a ski destination, you need to take into consideration several key factors....which destination accumulates the most snow, which has the most runs, the best lifts, etc.  A ski destination shouldn't be randomly chosen out of a jar.  It's up to you whether you want your time and money well spent or wasted.  So why not put some thought into this decision and make sure you decision results in the former, rather than the latter.

Christopher Steiner, a Forbes writer & avid skier, constructed a Top 5 Ski Resort List based on a combination of raw data and raw experience put into a master algorithm which he calls PAF or 'Pure Awesomeness Factor'.  Telluride ranks 3rd on that list...rightfully so.  Read on to see why he considers Telluride a top ski destination.
