If you want to ski down the mountain, you'll need to make it to the top first. Hop on Coonskin Ski Lift and enjoy the ride.
When you've finished exploring this mountainside transportation system in Telluride, why not make your way to Telluride Gondola Station, Telluride Ski and Golf Club, and Blue Lakes Trail? They're not too far from Coonskin Ski Lift and also a favorite with tourists.
