a ski getaway in a historic cabin in telluride, colorado
This historic and charming Rungi Chungi cabin (that's colourful in Nepalese) is nestled in the mountain village of Telluride, Colorado, a five-minute walk away from these truly legendary lifts.
The cabin sleeps four guests comfortably, or ten ski bums and one squatter on the front porch (that would be me ~ Kate). Complimentary lift tickets are included for two guests for five days of skiing each. Or, visit in the summer, when the village comes alive with great music, art, food, and wine festivals, as well as mountain biking and all other pursuits of the green season.
Nightly rental value is $200.00. Some availability restrictions apply -- the family will work with you to determine the best time for all.
~ a conversation with Lara Young, proprietor of Rungi Chungi ~
Kate: Telluride?!? Justin and I and the boys will be at your doorstep in six hours. We will arrive hungry and talking all your ears off. Are you the lifestyler, or is your husband, or both? Meant with all affection. Justin was a ski patroller for eleven years and we both miss it so much. The mountain life, the skiing, the everything. I've heard so many good things about Telluride, the town as well as the mountain. Neither of us have ever really skiied proper powder. Good dreams tonight.
Lara: I assume a lifestyler is some queer Canadian term for ski geek! My husband was a ski patroller for 20 years between Vermont and here. He also worked for the Heli-skiing operation here for 3 years. Right now we caretake a large property of 25 homesites. Mikey does the manly trail grooming, plowing, etc. I do the experience and fun-making for people. I am exhausted from my teething nursing monkey keeping me up and then having to ski fresh powder today. We are in a big storm cycle and it is a winter ski town come to life...
