January 15–21, 2026 archive. This post preserves a Tourism Board update from that reporting period. Figures, schedules and outlook language below are historical reporting, not current operating, booking, or real-estate guidance. For current travel information, use Telluride Tourism Board.
The original Tourism Board update followed a resort disruption and reopening. It reported bookings 34% behind the prior year but 23 points above the lowest point of impact. January was said to be pacing 21% behind year over year; February was at 48% occupancy, five points behind 2025, and March at 39%, three points behind. For the remainder of January, it reported 37% occupancy versus 44% in the comparison period.
It also noted planned marketing recovery activity and said the resort group-sales team had secured the Florida Ski Council for approximately 350 people from January 24–31, along with other ski clubs. That was a planned group-business item in the bulletin, not confirmation of attendance or later performance.
The retained monthly chart shows February at 47% versus 51% and March at 38% versus 40%, while the original narrative reports 48% and 39%. The archive does not establish why these differ or which snapshot was later. Both are preserved here without silently combining them. The daily chart covers January 15–31, beyond the January 15–21 title window.
The update reported air bookings down 20% year over year that week after being down 40% in the preceding two weeks. It described January passengers as nearly 20% down, February 5–7% down with 30% still to fill based on historical pacing, March about 7% down with 55% still to fill based on historical pacing, and December–March down 12–13% overall. “Left to fill” was the bulletin’s historical booking-pattern estimate, not available seat capacity. These are dated pacing figures, not a current forecast.
Tourism reports may provide context about a particular period. They do not show that air or lodging movement caused local business, rental, home-price, buyer-confidence, or sales outcomes. Current travel and property decisions require current sources and property-specific diligence. For a current property discussion, contact Mountain Rose Realty.
