Family Nordic Skiing Mountain Village is home base for the Telluride Ski Resort. The Town of Mountain Village maintains miles of Nordic and snowshoe trails and an ice skating rink. (Also a tennis court open year 'round, but that's another story.)

To drive the point about a winter wonderland home, this weekend, Mountain Village hosts a community bash. The event takes place Saturday, March 19, starting at 11 a.m. on the Wilson Loop Trail (at the entrance to town on Adams Ranch Road).

Les Girls This month, Telluride's Two Skirts celebrates its 10th anniversary.

For the Greek mathematician Pythagoras, 10 was the symbol of the universe and the number that expressed the whole of human knowledge. For the ancient Maya, "10" marked the end of one cycle and the start of another. And for director Blake Edwards, "10" was the top of the bodaciousness scale, the symbol of Bo Derrick.
