Haha bigger than the east? Dude wait til you get down in the san juans...they are huge, no matter where youre from. Im from Utah and those mountains are sick down there. Telluride is such a cool mountain too, they could use a bit more snow but thats coming from some one who lives in utah. The terrain is great though, lots of long consistent steeps and the scenary is amazing. The park wasnt bad either when I was there, alot better than snowbirds park here in utah. And yeah the town of telluride is just super cool to walk around, Silverton is only an hour or two away....you should definitley go there, most extreme steep and deep place around.
