Joint Point, one of Telluride’s best local jam bands (and also the name of a Telluride Ski run), is seen playing below in the Telluride Mountain Village for Telluride Sports’ annual Blizzard sale. This is a short clip during the middle of a Shakedown Street jam.
Telluride Sports’ held a raffle for a ski pass and other great items, but I did not win. I did purchase a great pair of Oakley googles at 40% off at Alternative Edge.

The Ice House Hotel is located on South Fir Street in Telluride. It is about a block away from the gondola and the San Miguel River runs directly behind the property.

… is coming to a close today. It’s always an interesting festival to observe from the outside, and I’m sure is even moreso if one participates directly. Below is a photo of some specimens which were harvested in the region and placed under it’s proper location (with full name and photos) after it’s been positively identified.
They normally partition the tables into poisonous and non-poisonous species of mushrooms.

The wet weather might not always be the most comfortable to be in, but it certainly makes for some great photos around Telluride and in the mountains. Below is a sunset which lit up the sky in the Ophir Valley a couple of days ago:

Here’s a double rainbow looking into Waterfall Canyon and the orange clouds on the south side (acid chutes can be seen) taken a little over a week ago in Ophir:

Phish took the stage in Telluride Town Park on August 9th and 10th for what was a very memorable set of shows. The band seemed to be in excellent form and was one of the more sought after tickets on the summer tour. Tickets were being scalped on the street for upwards of a few hundred dollars per ticket; however, there was not the major crowds of ticketless phans which people had feared might show up and overwhelm the town.
Given that the past few weeks have been VERY rainy, it was amazing to see the weather as almost perfect with clear skies and zero precipitation.
The highlights for me were the covers: Quinn The Eskimo, Light Up Or Leave Me Alone, A Day In The Life, and Walk Away, but also liked the Possum from the first night and Divided Sky the second.
Here’s a shot of the tarp line heading into the venue on the 9th at about 5:15:
