After the revelry of skiing Revelation Bowl, get your food and drink fix. Glide right up to your favorite après from the slopes of Telluride Ski Resort (Telluride Brewing Co. and Allred’s are just a few of the popular spots for some high-elevation food, drink, and relaxation).

Or take the gondola to Main Street, Telluride. There are exactly zero chain restaurants or stores, just the Rocky Mountain landscape blending into a contemporary and cozy ethos as you stroll the streets. If you don’t feel like walking, step aboard the Galloping Goose, another of Telluride’s efficient transportation gems—the bus has a Town Loop circuit that’s no charge. Find plenty of restaurants—from Thai to Mediterranean—and relish a traditional rite-of-passage with a Prost Pilsner at Last Dollar Saloon.
