More recaps from 2023!
In the spring, we aided the USFS’ efforts on the reroute and rockfall mitigation project on the Mill Creek / Waterline Trail.
🚲
In collaboration with San Miguel County and Mountain Trip, we improved the climbing access trails at the Society Turn Climbing Wall. We also designed and paid for new signage.
🪨
This summer, we completed maintenance to improve the Sunshine / T-35 Trail. The trail now has better sustainability, increased drainage, widened and buffed turns, improved sightlines, wider trail tread, and more.

Continuing down recap lane…With the help of gene

Continuing down recap lane…With the help of generous donors and creative crafters, we were able to build and install two benches on the Eider to Mill Creek Connector Trail. The benches are already a favorite to take in the sweeping valley views.

The Deep Creek reroute and maintenance project is officially wrapped up for the season! Jordan Carr, TMtC Trails Director, spent the last few weeks doing final drainage work and massive brush cutting along the entire trail. We hope you are loving the improvements and new 1.9-mile reroute.

Telluride Mountain Club helps steward the Society

Telluride Mountain Club helps steward the Society Turn Climbing area in partnership with San Miguel County (who owns the land). This year we designed and paid for new signage and did trail work (thanks for your help with that @mountaintrip!). We check in on the crag and trail each fall and spring. If you have ideas for improvement, let us know.

Do you backcountry ski or splitboard in our local

Do you backcountry ski or splitboard in our local mountains? Do you use radios to communicate with your touring partners or other groups in the area?
If you answered “yes”, then please tell us all about it in the “Telluride Backcountry Radio Survey”. It’s been almost 10 years since the inception of Telluride’s groundbreaking Backcountry Radio Program (the 1st in the country) and the Pi Fund is conducting a survey to find out how it’s working and what we can improve.
Please click the link in our bio and THANK YOU for your participation. Survey results will be made public at our December “Backcountry Chat”. Stay tuned!
