Recognized as a Top Performing Hotel as Reviewed by Travelers on the

World’s Largest Travel Site

Telluride, CO – 2014 – The New Sheridan hotel today announced that it has received a TripAdvisor® Certificate of Excellence award. The accolade, which honors hospitality excellence, is given only to establishments that consistently achieve outstanding traveller reviews on TripAdvisor, and is extended to qualifying businesses worldwide. Establishments awarded the Certificate of Excellence are located all over the world and represent the upper echelon of businesses listed on the website.

Businesses must maintain an overall TripAdvisor bubble rating of at least four out of five, volume and recency of reviews. Additional criteria include a business’ tenure and popularity ranking on the site.

“Winning the TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence is a true source of pride for the entire team at the New Sheridan and we’d like to thank all of our past guests who took the time to complete a review on TripAdvisor,” said Ray Farnsworth, General Manager at New Sheridan. “There is no greater seal of approval than being recognized by one’s customers. With the TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence based on customer reviews, the accolade is a remarkable vote of confidence to our business and our continued commitment to excellence.”

“TripAdvisor is pleased to honor exceptional hospitality businesses for consistent excellence,” said Marc Charron, President of TripAdvisor for Business. “The Certificate of Excellence award gives top performing establishments around the world the recognition they deserve, based on feedback from those who matter most – their customers. From Australia to Zimbabwe, we want to applaud exceptional hospitality businesses for offering TripAdvisor travellers a great customer experience.”

SKINNY SKIS RULE
Telluride is not just a set of downhill runs.

Mycology 101 in Telluride

Do you love eating mushrooms, want to know more about their medicinal effect, or consider yourself a fungophile? Then pack your bags and get ready to experience Shroomfest in Telluride this August 16 - 19.  Interest in mushrooms stems from a range of inclinations, from culinary to scientific to just plain curiosity. 

Shroomfest will be celebrating its 32nd year in existence and is run by long-time Telluride resident Art Goodtimes.  Telluride's box canyon serves as the perfect backdrop and location for this annual event.  The San Juan Mountains surrounding Telluride are famous for their bounty of fungal species thanks to summer monsoon rains.  Brought to Telluride in 1981 by Dr. Emanuel Salzman, mycologist Gary Lincoff, medical guru Dr. Andrew Weil, myco-researcher Paul Stamets and others associated with the Denver-based non-profit Fungophile, Inc., the event was initially called Wild Mushrooms Telluride. It was an educational conference with the core objective to educate the public about all aspects of the mycological world.  After some disagreed over the primary objectives and purpose, a few led by the Salzman family and with the help of local mushroom enthusiasts Art Goodtimes and John Sir Jesse, evolved the event into what it is today in Telluride’s spectacular box canyon.

 

This four-day destination event “celebrates everything fungal & entheogenic” and features a multitude of activities that explore the entheogenic, as well as the medicinal, culinary, toxic, cultivation and identification aspects of fungi.  Popular activities range from mushroom lectures given by the most knowledgeable of experts, to cooking with mushrooms and guided hikes with instruction on how to find the freshest (and safest) mushrooms. One of the standout events is the famed mushroom parade down Telluride’s main street.
