The Verdict
Telluride offers more terrain to explore, but both resorts provide a full day of skiing. Both are on the Epic Pass, so pass holders can ski either without additional tickets. These are closely matched resorts. The deciding factor may come down to crowd levels, base village vibe, or which is closer to your lodging.
