This photo was taken on the last night of our stay in Telluride in 2009 / 2010. The snow had started dumping down during the night before and was heavy throughout the day, resulting in a couple of feet of snow falling over the 48 hour period.

These bikes were caught in the middle of the dumping, parked in a bike rack in the centre of the town of Telluride.

We’ve settled in to Telluride quite nicely. On Saturday we were up nice and early for the coach transfer to the Orlando Airport for our flight to Denver, then another little flight on to Montrose, for a 1.5 hour transfer to Telluride. The driver of the car we had transferring us was Don. Don is coming to Australia for his second honeymoon next year and I made sure to let him know Queensland is THE place to be seen in Australia (wonder if that makes part of this trip a tax deduction now?). After being up and at ‘em at 5am we arrived at the condo in Telluride at a little after 630pm local time (2 hours time difference).

The condo is beautiful and has a great view of one of the ski slopes, lots of snow, big beautiful snow capped mountains and is pretty well located.

We had our first full day here yesterday and we took it very easy, no skiing yet. We went for a ride on the free gondola which goes up to the mountain village and had a look around, Jackson had a play in the snow and made snowballs and jumped in the snow, we had an afternoon rest, then went back up to the village and got fitted out for our skis and boots, Jackson had a go on a trampoline / trapeze thing (which he loved & I have a video of) and then out for dinner at a Thai restaurant (Jackson fell asleep).

We’ve run into a few Australians working here already. Apparently Tom Cruise is in town (I think his wife is stalking me).

Here’s a slideshow of some of the photos we took yesterday:

Here’s a video of Jackson trying out for a life in the circus. Aplogies it is sideways, just crane your neck for 60 seconds….
