One of the coolest phenomena we see here in Telluride is due to the box canyon nature of the town. Inversion occurs because the valley socks in colder air as the sky above warms with the sun. As the sun begins to breach the peaks and shine in the valley, the inversion disappears as town warms. It’s quite a view especially after an overnight snow dropping four inches on the top of the ski mountain.
