The climate of Telluride (Colorado
- United States of America)
Telluride is a village located in the southeastern part of Colorado,
United States of America. Telluride is located in San Miguel County on
the banks of the San Miguel River. The city was founded at the end of
the 19th century when gold was found here. The gold which was found
here consists of a valuable telluride ore compound making it black.
This type of gold was called Telluride. Nowadays Telluride is a
popular winter sports resort. Telluride Ski Resort has 125 pistes and
18 lifts. The longest piste is the Galloping Goose with a length of
7.4 kilometers (4.5 miles). A small village named Mountain Village was
founded in this region. Telluride has a moderate continental climate
with many cold days during the year. Subzero temperatures (during the
night) may occur all year round. During the summer daytime
temperatures may rise to high figures. Because of this no eternal snow
can be found here. During the coldest months temperatures hardly rise
above freezing point. Precipitation figures are much higher here than
in the eastern part of Colorado.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
