TELLURIDE, C0 - - Telluride is unique in that there is a Free gondola (6am to midnight every day) from town to Mountain Village.  You need a lot of petty cash to enjoy Telluride.  On the other side of the San Juan mountain range you find resorts,  condos and houses with soaring prices. As a super ski town you'd expect nothing less (see Aspen, Vail, etc).where very deep pockets set the elite apart from the rest of us mere mortals.
   
      The Mountain Village Telluride Gondola is a 2.5 mile trip (one way) and was opened in 1996.
