Thanks for the nugget on Silverton. I checked it out, looks amazing. Would want a guide, though.
I threw Telluride out there as it isn't mentioned with Breck, Copper, Aspen, Vail, etc when talking about Colorado resorts. Plus, Telluride is the most scenic resort I've been to; and yes, it was a major PITA to get to. Fortunately, there are shuttles from Montrose, otherwise we wouldn't have found it.
