Our story

Tough as the town.

An alloy is two metals melted into one that’s tougher than both. Telluride has run that way since the mining days: miners and skiers, locals and whoever came up on the gondola, all at the same bar. We named the place for it. Nobody’s in a hurry to turn your table.

Outlaws welcome. Regulars, too.

Ski hard. Après harder.

Five Saturdays this winter the pool deck turns into a party: December 12, January 30, February 20, March 13 and April 3. Firepits, lasers, bubbles and house music from 4 PM.

Sundays bring Sunday Rehab, 1 to 5 from November 29, in the Après Lounge or out on the deck, weather depending.

In the kitchen

Chef Lonnie Shepard.

The old mining camps called the head cook Cookie. Ours is Lonnie. He cooks for people who spent the day outside, so the portions are big and he doesn’t rush the gravy. Start with the short rib.
