Breakfast Before Skiing in Mountain Village, Telluride

Hand-rolled burritos and bowls, open daily at 8am, steps from the gondola.

Built for Early Starts

Ski mornings move fast, and The Pick is built around that. It's a walk-up counter right in the Mountain Village Core — order, watch it get hand-rolled fresh, and you're back on your way to the lift in about 5 to 10 minutes. No sitting, no waiting on a table, no risk of missing first chair.

Doors open at 8am daily, which lines up with early lift times during the season. It's become a go-to stop for locals and visitors who want something substantial before a full day on the mountain, not just a pastry and coffee.

What to Order Before a Ski Day

The Get Outta Bed breakfast burrito is the standard pre-ski order — eggs, bacon, chorizo, rice, beans, cheese, pico de gallo, guacamole, and lime sour cream, wrapped up to eat on the move. Prefer something lighter? Build your own bowl with eggs, potatoes, and a house-made sauce like the mango salsa or chipotle aioli.
