Telluride 30th Birthday Dump
Birthday wishes do come true! A storm camping out over Telluride this week has dropped nearly a foot and a half of snow since Monday, priming conditions for Telluride's 30th Birthday Blowout Bash, March 1-9. Telluride received two feet in the past week, increasing the mountain's top base to 61 inches and mid-mountain base to 59 inches.

- Gregg Bagni, marketing guru for the Telluride Ski Resort.
