The gondola closed for fall maintenance on October 20, which means off-season is here. During this quieter time, many restaurants and businesses close to recharge before a busy winter. Our backyard never closes, so it is a great time to get out and go for a hike or a bike ride before the snow starts to fly. Soak up some sun from a bench and enjoy the views of the box canyon on Main Street or the towering peaks in Mountain Village. Check out what restaurants are open in Mountain Village and in Telluride.

The gondola reopens on Friday, November 22 for the winter season. The Telluride Ski Resort is scheduled to open for the ski season on November 28 (weather depending).
