Join your RSOC friends and friends in other Crescent Ski Council ski clubs for a week of fantastic skiing at one of the best ski resorts in North America. Telluride will provide the unique experience of an old West town and nearby world class skiing. We will be staying at the West End Town Condos.
West End Town Condos are a collection of condos in the town of Telluride conveniently located within easy walking distance to Chair #7.
