Telluride Guide: Should You Go or No?

I’m back on YouTube!

If you’re new here, I have a channel specializing in travel tips called How 2 Travelers. My favorite series on the channel is Go or No, which is an informative guide of a place that concludes with my honest assessment about the destination. This can cause a bit of controversy, but I’ve never been one to shy away from a bit of fun discussion.

What do I think will be the most controversial part of this review? The fact that I DIDN’T like award-winning Brown Dog Pizza. This is the holy grail of Telluride. I’m talking two hour waits to get in. It specializes in “Detroit” style pizza (is that a thing?). I’m from Detroit! I love pizza!  What’s not to like?? Well, the pizza. OMG!! Don’t worry. I’ve got my YouTube Comment Helmet on and am ready for the trolls.

Heli Skiing with TV Land

What is Heli Skiing?

It’s where you take a helicopter to the top of a mountain and go down its fresh powder. To put that into perspective, I was above where they let off the explosives for avalanches. Yep, 13,400 feet above the Rocky Mountains and I made it down in one piece. Above is the proof.

What You Won’t See In My TV Land Video:

You know the lyric in America, The Beautiful where it says “For Purple Mountain Majesties”? Well, now I get it. When I was on top of Potosi Peak, the mountains didn’t look white, they looked purple. I thought my perspective was so unique, until our guide politely called me out, saying, “Well, yeah, that’s why they call it purple mountains!” Duhhhhh. So, next time you’re above the Rockies, don’t be me, be the guide, and point out why America, The Beautiful has that lyric. You’re welcome. 😉
