Bye, bye off-season. It was nice having you around…
but we’ve got things to do, people to see, places to SKI! Town is firing up for
another amazing winter ski season with more events, concerts, activities than
you can shake a stick at. Here’s your Top 5 Best Things to do in Telluride
before the slopes open next week… on Thanksgiving Day!
Thursday, November 17th – Teton Gravity Research’s “One For The Road” – Travis Julia Presents
one of the hottest ski films of the year at the Sheridan Opera House on
Thursday night. One For The Road follows some of the world’s best skiers in
Jackson Hole, Japan, Alaska and much more. Not only do you get to see an
awesome film… but door prizes and free swag will be handed out, including a
FREE pair of skis! There are two showings – at 6:00 and 9:00pm at the Sheridan
Opera House. Tickets are $15. Be there. Time to get pumped for the ski season!
Thursday, November 17th – Telluride Film Festival presents – 50/50 – The Telluride Film
Festival presents the dramatic comedy 50/50 with Seth Rogen and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
The movie will show at the Nugget Theater at 8:30pm. Seth Rogen is hilarious and I can't picture Gordon-Levitt in anything but Terminator 2... but this actually looks like a really good movie. Kind of a dry, feel-good comedy. Should be a great
flick!
Friday, November 18th – Free Gondola Re-opens – Your favorite
and freest public transportation in the nation re-opens for the 2011/2012 Winter
ski season. I mean is there any prettier commute in the country??! Did we mention it was free?? We’re so excited we’re going to ride it a couple times… just for
fun. Can't wait!
Saturday, November 19th – Turkey Bingo – One of the best nights of the holidays returns to the Elks Lodge. That’s right… play bingo and win turkeys for your Thanksgiving
feast! Bingo, beer, drawing all over eachother... it doesn't get much better. Get there early… because seats go fast! Doors will open around 7:00pm.
Winner, winner, turkey dinner!!!
Sunday, November 20th – Think SNOW – This might be the most important thing you do all
weekend. With the Telluride Ski Resort opening on Thanksgiving Day the 24th,
let’s all do a little snow dance so we can have many, many, many, many, many
happy powder days this season… with no injuries! There's a 50% chance of snow on Sunday... so do whatever you can do to make that 110%! Get ready for a fantastic
winter here in Telluride. Here are just a few highlights to look forward to:
Telluride World Cup, Jason Isbell concert, Canned Heat New Years Eve party,
North American Freestyle Mogul Competition, Leftover Salmon concert, Telluride
Fashion Show, Chocolate Lover’s Fling, Comedy Festival, and much much more.
