Telluride Ski Resort reports no open terrain as winter season ends

Telluride’s ski map had gone blank by the April 18 mountain update: 0 of 149 trails were open, 0 of 149 were groomed, and the resort listed spring conditions across the mountain. With no new snow overnight, in the last 24 hours, 48 hours or seven days, the message for anyone hoping for a final lap was unmistakable: lift-served skiing was done.

The report still showed 36 inches of snow depth and a 135-inch season total under partly cloudy skies, with a high of 45 degrees and a low of 12. But the terrain list ran through the entire mountain and ended in the same place every time, from Apex, Bald Mountain and Black Iron Bowl to Palmyra Peak, Prospect Bowl, Revelation Bowl, Sunshine and Village. On a mountain that covers 2,000 skiable acres, a zero-open-trails day is not a minor spring lull. It is the end of the line for the season.

That timing matched Telluride Ski Resort’s published winter calendar. Ski lifts were scheduled from December 6, 2025 through April 5, 2026, while the free Gondola’s winter operating dates ran from November 21, 2025 through April 5, 2026. Visit Telluride listed the resort’s closing day as April 4, 2026, and late-March reports had already pointed to a possible temporary close on March 31 with a reopening only if enough snow arrived for a closing weekend. By April 18, none of that remained on the board.

Telluride has closed on a similar spring rhythm before. The 2023-24 closing weekend fell on April 7, 2024 and featured a pond skim and a closing-day party at Gorrono Ranch, a familiar sign that the mountain can flip from winter laps to shutdown quickly once the calendar turns. This year’s April 18 update left a different read for the Four Corners crowd: no open terrain, no groomed terrain and no skiable lift-served product, which pushes the value of a trip toward town views, shoulder-season access and a very different pace in the San Juan Mountains.
