It should come as little surprise, given how picturesque Telluride is, that the Victorian-mining-town-turned-ski-town has served as a set for everything from A-list movies and beloved Western flicks to classic ski films and car commercials throughout the last 50 years. The surrounding San Juan peaks have even inspired some of Colorado’s most famous beer-can imagery. See if you can recognize where these 7 cameos took place in Telluride.
