Well,
At the suggestion of a friend of a friend of a friend, my girlfriend and I
are wanting to try Telluride this January.  Neither of us have ever been
there.  We are both intermediate skiers, although I'm a little more
aggressive (and physically fit) than she is.  We both can handle steep, but
she is more comfy with bumps than I am.  I like speed, but she doesn't.

A few questions:
    1.  How do you get to Telluride?  What airports are near?
    2.  Although we haven't picked a condo yet, we want to stay fairly
close to the lifts, and are even prone to a ski-in-ski-out.  I found a
great deal on one.  Do we still need a car?
    3.  What's the town like?  Neither of us are late-night partying
types, preferring a casual dinner, a bit of leisurely shopping, and just
taking it easy.
    4.  What type of skier does Telluride appeal to?  Mostly advanced
black diamonds?
    5.  How's the ski school?
    6.  Any idea what lift tix are going for this year?

Thanks tons for any other comments!!!  Please e-mail me directly, as I
don't really have time these days to peruse all the postings!!!

Thanks,
Maureen Burns
