Mountain Lodge Telluride | Best ski hotels in North America

"You don’t get more ski-in, ski-out than this hotel – the Double Cabin green piste passes right by the front door. It has a mix of elegant rooms and suites spread among three log-and-stone buildings, along with stand-alone cabins that are perfect for families and groups. The main lodge houses a magnificent wood-beamed bar and restaurant, warmed by an immense river-rock fireplace, with 30-foot windows looking out over the San Sophia Ridge. It’s a popular apres-ski spot – the bar has a daily happy hour. The heated outdoor pool and hot tubs are also popular post-skiing. To reach the resort base, guests can board the free gondola, a short walk away, or the hotel offers a free shuttle service. " - Nicola Iseard
