Firecracker Hill
Sledding hill
About
Firecracker Hill is the marked sledding hill on the south side of Telluride Town Park. To get there, follow the orange cones that mark the walking path. Sledding is free. Bring your own sled, rent one at the Telluride Nordic Center in the Town Park Pavilion, or buy one at Ace Hardware in town.
When to go
Winter only, when there's snow. The Town closed the hill for the 2025-26 season on March 23, 2026. The Nordic Center, where you rent sleds, says its regular hours resume in November 2026.
Good to know
The Nordic Center rents sleds for $15 a day and tubes for $15 an hour. Parking is in the Town Park lots. The Town lists its Parks and Recreation department as the contact for the hill, at (970) 728-2173.
