In this great
comparison photo, we see the Mountain Quail Chute at the Telluride Ski Resort in
Colorado during the winter and summer. The photos were taken by reddit user spacetaco12
who said the chute is located on the hike-to-terrain off of the Prospect chairlift.
Keen observers
will note that the position on the mountain is not identical and that the
summer image is slightly further to the right. This is due to the steep
rockslide area which in the winter is just packed with snow and not a hazard. [source]
Telluride features over
2,000 skiable acres (810 hectares) of terrain and the mountain gets an average
of more than 300 inches (762 cm) of snow and 300 days of sunshine each year.
There are a total of 127 trails and a vertical drop of 4,425 ft (1,349 m).
