Telluride in Top 10 for Spring Getaways

Telluride, CO Spring Skiing
With nearly 100″ of  snow since Jan. 1, Telluride has managed to plow through winter with  plenty of powder, unlike many other U.S. ski resorts. Add to that the  mountain village’s spectacular scenery and you have a great spring  getaway destination.
Telluride, once a rough-and-ready mining  town, has a Wild West flavor that blends well with its luxury hotels,  high-end shops and gourmet restaurants. The old town is just eight  blocks wide and 12 blocks long and filled with Victorian-era homes,  clapboard storefronts and historic buildings. It’s connected to the  upper town of Mountain Village, located at 9,500 feet, by a free  gondola. Skiers and boarders love the combination. So do A-listers such  as Tom Cruise, Oprah and Ralph Lauren, among others. Forbes Magazine described Telluride as the place where celebs kick back and blend in.
Some of the ski resort’s popularity can be traced to its scenery; the  village offers some of the most awe-inspiring mountain views west of Switzerland. Tucked into a box canyon and surrounded by the highest  concentration of 14,000-foot peaks in North America, Telluride is often  called one of the most beautiful resorts in the Rockies. Off-season it’s known for its music and film festivals, but when there’s snow, winter  activities and après-ski rule. From: Yahoo Travel

The Mental and Physical Health Benefits of

a Telluride Vacation

 

“The mountains are calling and I must go.” – John Muir

 

Too often the monotonous grind of daily life and work
in the concrete jungle can fester into months of uninterrupted stress buildup.
The hassles and tribulations of frenetic city life plague both the physical and
mental well-being of millions of people in contemporary society. Stress, the
silent killer, is born from a combination of physiological, psychological and
environmental factors. Lack of exercise, chaotic crowds, invasive technologies,
poor sleeping habits, demanding schedules, unhealthy diet, noise pollution, sullied
tap water and smog-ridden air are just a few of the ills associated with metropolitan life.
These factors can often lead to mental disorders
such as depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, memory loss, social
withdrawal, headaches, insomnia, decreased creativity and irritability.
Physically, elevated stress levels lead to an increased risk for obesity, heart
disease, weakened immune system, high blood pressure, heart palpitations, hair
loss, muscle/joint pain, ulcers and decreased libido.
Fear not, experts agree one great way to alleviate stress and reinvigorate your mental health is by taking a vacation.
Studies have shown that there are residual benefits to vacationing on your
mental well-being for upwards of 5 weeks after your return. Sadly as a whole,
Americans take less than half as much vacation time as our European
counterparts despite evidence supporting vacations increases productivity and
innovation in the workplace. Subsequently, more and more Americans are succumbing to the side effects of stressful living than ever before. Armed with this
knowledge, it is time for you to take either preventative or remedial action.
The awareness of the abundant stressors in your
life is in and of itself enough to exacerbate your mental strain but thankfully
millions of years of violent geological activity and decades of modernization
have sculpted an escape like no other. Telluride, CO is America’s premiere
Mountain Resort and the perfect place to unwind.
Telluride offers remedies for all of your stress-induced
conditions within the most awe-inspiring mountain town in America. To help ameliorate
the mental angst and physical tension you’ve been lumbering around, Telluride provides
impeccable air quality*, pristine water, wholesome organic foods and fine
dining, lavish spas and amenities, endless avenues for exercise and breathtaking
mountain views to put your mind at ease. The wide breadth of activities,
unrivaled facilities and luxurious isolation make Telluride an easy choice for
your next vacation destination.
“Another glorious day, the air as delicious to
the lungs as nectar to the tongue.” –John Muir
Nestled cozily in the western San Juan mountain
range and 60 miles from the nearest traffic light, Telluride is a beacon for
those in need of escaping the rigors of work and home. Come visit and let the warbling
stream running through the heart of town melt your woes as you behold a fiery
sunset blanketing the snow capped peaks and thick aspen groves. Reinvigorate
your relationships with a day of skiing or snowshoeing followed by a warm and
hearty meal overlooking an endless horizon of mountains. Let loose at a local
watering-hole while listening to some foot-stomping bluegrass. Recount stories
of the lynx you spotted under chair-6 or the coveted stash of powder you
discovered in a serene glade of pines. Treat yourself to a relaxing day at the
spa or hot springs and blissfully wash away the menial worries of everyday
life. Kick off your morning with a ride on the Gondola and find creative
inspiration in a sunrise more majestic than you’ve ever known. Take control.
Break the cycle. Get away. Rediscover yourself in Telluride.
*The air in Telluride ranks among the highest quality
in the nation with an AQI of 17.7 in 2010 and an EPA rating of 99/100. For centuries
people have been trekking to higher altitudes for clean, dry air to aid
respiratory ailments as well as improve cardiovascular function. Researchers
like Benjamin Honigman, MD at the University of Colorado School of Medicine believe extended time
spent at higher altitudes promotes improved functioning of heart muscles as
well as the production of new blood vessels.
