We are thrilled that the Telluride Ski Resort is installing a new fixed-grip quad chairlift and again expanding advanced terrain. The new lift - called "Revelation" - will expand into the long-awaited and anticipated "Revelation Bowl" terrain and add vertical rise to the entire ski resort. "Revelation Bowl faces northeast, which means it's on the back side of the prevailing winds which come up and over the top of Gold Hill summit from the west. Snow loads in the bowl at an incredible rate. For example, if it snows 6" we could easily have 12" in Revelation Bowl due to wind transport. This bowl is pure bliss from a skier's perspective. Revelation Bowl is very "Alps- like", a high-alpine powder bowl with a sea of 13,000'+ peaks to be seen in every direction.
The beautiful SW Colorado San Juan mountain range surrounds this very unique and special ski area expansion. The lift serves 800 vertical feet with a slope length of 1,876 feet. Average gradient of the line is 47%. Travel time is 4.2 minutes. Quad chairs are POMA's "Super-Comfort" model with individually padded seats and full one piece back cushions, with retention bars and footrests. Admittedly, Revelation lift is not a real long lift like Chair 9 - but there is definitely more to the story in terms of terrain accessed by this new lift... Not only does the Revelation lift provide access to what I like to call the "perfect powder bowl", it also makes it easy to access the Gold Hill Chutes 6 through 10 (with a short 160 vertical foot walk to the top of the Gold Hill summit) - which accesses Palmyra Basin - which accesses the aprons under the Gold Hill cliffs. These areas are clearly the best-of-the-best for advanced skiers and all drain to the bottom of the Gold Hill lift. The new Revelation lift will also provide access, through a backcountry access gate, to Bear Creek - for those who are skilled, experienced, and prepared for the hazards and personal responsibility of backcountry skiing. Below is a picture of Bear Creek and the 3,800+ vertical feet it offers - all the way from the top of the Revelation lift to the bottom of Chair 8 down in the town of Telluride.
Telluride broke the mold last ski season by opening Black Iron Bowl, Palmyra Peak, and Gold Hill Chutes 6 -10 for public hike-to-ski. This new terrain transformed Telluride into an advanced skier's utopia (without exaggeration). With the addition of the new Revelation lift for the 2008/2009 ski season, this is a very exciting time for Telluride.” – Dave Riley, Telski We still have plenty of beginner and intermediate terrain as well. Telluride has something to offer everyone this winter!
